    The path to freedom

    February is now over half gone and the Mustangs path to freedom is still snowed in. March/April are usually the snowiest months of the year for us. A storm is heading our way on Monday to deposit more. I may need chains to make it to the Bash.

    I've seen worst, even for PA at times. Just give it a running shot (even sideway at times) too the big road ahead.

    Dang!
    What is all that white stuff?   Heavy spring pollen?

    What does MC Flurries have to do with this?🤪

    I feel your pain, I have about 3’ of snow on my path.
    Been wondering if I have to schedule a tow truck to get us outta here.

    Hopefully, Punxsutawney Phil is right this year for early spring.😁

    Re: The path to freedom

    It's been pretty mild here for February.  A lot of days in 50s.  I drove my '67 Monday actually.  Of course now its back in the 30s, but hopefully we get an early spring, and at this point in life I can really do completely without the snow...

    Re: The path to freedom

    Took the 66 out yesterday, single digits but what the heck, that's what a heaters for. Had to try out new tires, now all I have to do is put a coat of wax on it and figure out how to pack for a month long road trip. Hopefully on the road down south April 1.I might just have to get windshield washers fixed.

    Sweet! I have know idea why, but the deeper the snow is the more I like it. Little snows suck, big snows rock!

    As a kid at KOA campgrounds, I truly didn’t understand snow birds.
    I think I understand.

    It's the most northern zip code that gets you a SoCal resident Disneyland pass. Ask me how I know.

    Barry, that couldn't have been Christmas '09.  Not nearly enough snow.
