Amen Brother..... bring on spring!

jchav62 · 02-23-2010, 01:20 PM

You're getting the storm that just passed through NM I bet. We got about 10" at the house. Got some good shoveling exercise this morning...

I agree...BRING ON SPRING!!!

dallas71 · 02-23-2010, 01:36 PM

No kidding i moved to Texas to get away from this CRAP!!!!

jason65 · 02-23-2010, 01:43 PM

I've been thinking I need to find a nice warm spot somewhere around Dino and Protrash. Cold weather is something I would not miss.

But you'd be begging for snow in August when it's 115 degrees!

Long time Member of the Driftbuster Snowmobile Club, I am a winter lover
all the way. I couldn't live anywhere it didn't snow a few months of the year.

Here I have been Praying for snow since November. We just
got our first snow of the winter yesterday, and I hit 100 mph on
a Soy Bean field. Man that felt good. I live in the snow belt but
all the winter storms have missed us until yesterday.
Walking the dogs up in the hills last night after being
outside for 5 hours I was feeling lazy.
I laid down in a snow bank while the dogs snooped around. I near
fell asleep with the snow slowly drifting me over, cold no way.
I like summer but I hate hot weather, you southerners can have it.
14 F is just fine cept all the salt made our old "chev's" Biodegradable.

this weather is keeping me from working on my truck since i have no shop yet wish it would move on, it would give me some time to do some work on it...East Texas, 30 min south of Longview Tx.

aggie91 · 02-24-2010, 10:37 AM

I agree, I did not work on mine either because of the cold/wet weather. I was lucky this week. It snowed yesterday, but you can't tell. Ground was to warm and nothing stuck here. Funny thing is over just south of here and down to Palestine area, they had about 6"......Longview & Tyler - nothing..

Muleman100 · 02-24-2010, 10:58 AM

We did not have snow in Crosby but it was too cold to work in the shop. the small electic heater worked if you sat on top of it. As I tell the guys that live up north we don't have to shovel heat.

61TWUK · 02-24-2010, 11:00 AM

My weather here in Altus OK has been crazy weird... freezing cold one day mid 60's the next, snow the day after that and so on so on...

Good plan.

Here's a couple pics to keep this thread truck related...

jason65 · 02-24-2010, 01:50 PM

Gives me the chills.

*lakeroadster* · 03-24-2010, 09:07 AM

One wierd spring too....

March 24th in Colorado.

It's all good though, you can see I have a path shoveled out to my shop :-)

Muleman100 · 03-24-2010, 09:15 AM

Just a reminder, we don't have to shovel heat in south Texas. But the snow sure is pretty to look at. I remember those snowy days when I lived in Colorado annd Wyoming.

*lakeroadster* · 03-24-2010, 09:19 AM

Yep, it's all out there in this great country of ours, just depends on what a guy prefers.

Personally I prefer 4 seasons... as long as the summer isn't high humidity and oppresive temperatures.

Muleman100 · 03-24-2010, 09:30 AM

Thats the down side, we have high humidity and oppresive heat but we have fairly mild weather from October thru May, but the summers thru Sept sometimes are almost unbearable. You can't beat the summer weather in Colorado and Wyoming because it is great with low humidity and not too hot.

Yeah, I got hammered with about a foot at my house. Thankfully the C10 (for content, hahaha) has a garage slot! I paid some teenager to clear my driveway for me though. I wasn't relishing throwing that wet slop all morning long.

aggie91 · 03-24-2010, 12:08 PM

I think that snow in Colorado in late March would not be a suprise like it would be in Texas. I woke up to snow falling most of the day Sunday, the SECOND DAY OF SPRING!!! It is normally does not do that....we rarely get snow....

LOW DOUGH · 03-24-2010, 12:43 PM

March 21. This is what it looked like when I woke up. Dallas Texas. weird....

this is the 71 and the 69 sitting to the right. Clips have been swaped. Sorry for the giant pic.
