That looks nice!! We have had a couple days with freezing rain in the last 2 weeks. It makes it fun to drive in.

The valley area is catching hell here lately up here in the NE Oregon area we usually don't get a real winter until Jan. but it started early and doesn't show giving up yet as it snowed about 3"s last night and it's snowing now at 11:00am this morn.. It's a good time to stay home but cabin fever is starting to set in. You take care down there Ctmandu as it don't look like your gonna get a break for awhile either.

We got real strong winds with blowing snow here. About 1 1/2 hours ago I went out north of town in my S-10 Blazer with a friend to get his wife. The road going north had a couple of signs saying "ROAD CLOSED AHEAD". Man were they right. We went out just to check out the roads and there was a drift that went across the whole road and it was about 1/2 as high as my Blazer!! 8O It is suppose to get down to -18 degress overnight. You guys out west take care.

Guys I feel your pain. We've been below zero for 9 days now and have gotten about 9 inches of snow. We did get up to 3 degrees today though and it's suppose to let up this week at least into the 20's with single digits at night. All this comes just when I get my LUV running straight. At least it's 4wd and that all works fine. I just don't want to trust it yet to drive it out of town until I get to put a few more miles on it. Hitching a ride below zero would suck. 8O

Cat, Why is that LUV sitting out? It should be in the garage, where that can't happen to it. :x

Last year we got hit pretty hard in central OK. I was outside filming some of the ice and was unfortunate enough to witness a branch fall from about 50' crashing down on my poor little Luv. The pic below isn't from the ice storm but it shows the damage.
