Re: Preparing for Snow

Sorry, but it’s going to take something more than Bud Light to motivate me.

Re: Preparing for Snow

If I found snow in my driveway tomorrow, I'd need more than beer.

Don't say that too loud. They got it in Baton Rouge.

I'd say IPA would work better, but at that rate I'd lose interest before I got past the steps.

Re: Preparing for Snow

Now if we could find a way to hide bottles of red in between layers of old bottom paint...

Re: Preparing for Snow

I dunno… I don’t think I would find those beers till early in the Summer:



This is a snow scene from my new home base in Newfoundland. Apparently Corner Brook averages around 16 feet of snow

Just be glad you're not in Valdez. 15 inches in an hour and a half.

Re: Preparing for Snow

Very likely. I'm in Juneau and it has been between 40-50 degrees for the last few days. Two weeks ago it was in single digits. Gotta love crazy winter weather.
