    " Let it snow..Let it snow..Let it snow"

    If you guys don't hear from me for a week or so be advised that right now we're getting 4" an hour and the forcast is for up to 20-24" of snow.
    I mean it's like a whiteout outside..

    Good time to have external air cooling perhaps lay a bunch of poly pipe on the lawn for a chiller loop?

    'Twas a beautiful day here today... sun was shining, sky was blue. Everything may be crazy expensive in California, but at least I don't have to shovel my driveway whenever I want to go someplace.

    I heard about GA, Lu... I was actually in Atlanta a week ago and it was really mild! I think there was a 100+ year record broken, btw.

    Yeah, my girlfriend is home for the holidays a tad North of you and she said it was snowing there today... not staying on the ground, but snowing nevertheless.

    Just pulling your leg, though. To each his own

    Puttin' snow tires on the new ride (getting shafted on the price of lugs and rings, though... $100 for 20 lugs and 4 cheap, plastic rings )

    Wouldn't mind seeing how she handles in the NH powder and paying you a visit to steal me some moar IC Diamond...
