    Got to sleep in late again today. School was closed another day today.
    Peace.

    Well, this storm hardly impacted northern PA at all. Yesterday morn we had 4-5" of powder that I was out in at the tail end. It was quiet all afternoon. Last night it started as sleet, with possible heavy icing predicted. This morning I awoke to just a thin coat of ice. Something we see several times each winter.





    The local news reported no bad ice in the area. So we were lucky. Today we'll see a mix of rain, sleet and snow with a high of about 35°. I'm off during the week, but if I had work, I wouldn't have missed any time at all.

    I know many others are suffering bad. Just hang in there and ride it out. Spring is right around the corner.

    Thumbs up

    The VX got me home from work last night. 10:30 P.M. Even though it got me out of a 3' drift in our work parking lot and all the way home in very limited visibility, I'm sad to say that it didn't do it without suffering. My "Check Trans" light came on when I was 2/3 of the way home. The good news? Still under warranty!

    We'll take some pictures and maybe video in a little bit. Right now we are focused on hibernating...
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    I work from home, so I wasn't forced to go out in the snow. I don't mind driving in the snow, I just don't want to subject my VX to the chemicals they treat the roads with. I also prefer to distance myself from the other "expert" drivers on the road during these fun times.

    However, I did shoot some video of the tree damage I found in the back yeard from the wet heavy snow we got last week.

    Here's a pic of the VX parked in front of the house.



    I moved it a little bit and the check tranny light was no longer on... maybe it healed itself? Yeah right... it's going into the shop ASAP!

    My VX never made out of its parking spot in front of my condo. Snowplows immediately encased it in a 4ft snow fortress this morning. I'm waiting for the guys to come back and dig me out tomorrow morning now that the blizzard has stopped.

    Hey VXaddict...

    I'm PMing you my phone #... call if you want me to try to pull you out of that drift.

    I just pulled out a stuck Kia Sorrento from across the street. There were a bunch of people trying to shovel/snow blow it out of the parking space, and they were amazed when I pulled a U-turn out of my spot, hooked them up & got them on their way in 2 minutes...

    The VX ROCKS!!!
