I know....

I was

because I wasn't driving, not becuase I wouldn't be safe.

I'm better off. Let my baby be safe in the driveway. If I get her back that is. I'm in for the check engine light, I have a 328 loaner.

Snow blower is ready to go - it's actually kinda fun to use it. Looking forward to doing my driveway and a bunch of my neighbors too.

Anyone with DishTV or DirectTV have to constantly wipe the dish of snow? The Super Bowl should get interesting if I start seeing the 'lost satellite signal' message over and over.

You should see their system up here, unbelievable how prepared they are...

You would be really suprised at the snow amounts in the Asheville NC area. It is only a one hour drive from Greenville SC. I would compare it to southern PA / NJ for climate.

I just got a Z4 loaner for this weekend! If I was heading to Miami it might be fun.

I have fun zipping around in the 3 series loaners. Last time I got a 335.

Kids in Public Schools were off MTW this week. We had a 6 car wreck minimum before they'd call off school back home. Wusses.

The benefit is that you can find 30 year old cars with absolutely no rust. Relax, winter will be over in another 2-3 weeks.

Central Virginia pretty much shut down today; the county went into an emergency last night and everything (courts, businesses, schools) including UVa was closed. The state capitol is also closed in Richmond.

The snow started around daybreak today and when I woke up at 9:30 the street was covered. It took me awhile to brush the car and rid the nasty wet snow. Probably 1-2cm at the time, with minimal visibility.

I drove home around noon-time today and the roads in Albemarle and Louisa Co. were slushy if not covered, including the interstate, and things have gotten much worse since then. The one nice thing about living in nowhere is that the grocery stores aren't frenzied and there's usually sufficient stock of essentials. None of the panic and full shopping carts like in the DC area.
