I know that its been really bad in alot of the country weather wise. So I know this fails in comparison. But here in my neck of the woods we got our first snowfall. The car has a black vinyl top. Got about 2" of it.
First snow of the year

That's supposed to be inside the garage! Is there something more important in there?

There's an open spot in the shop for it always. Its been leaking oil and antifreeze pretty bad lately, so I think my son is disappointed in it right now. Which is why he didn't bother to pull it in our shop I'm guessing. I'll get it pulled in today and throw a pan under it.

Dang!!! That's an insane amount. I haven't seen snow like that since I lived in Pennsylvania as a kid. And even then I don't remember it being drifts quite that impressive. You have some shoveling ahead of you for sure.

Yeah, I remember when I lived in Texas, it was a freak occurrence to get snow or rain. Now I see on these car shows they are like "its snowing or raining again, normal Texas weather" wtf? I think it honestly started after that massive offshore earthquake in Sri Lanka, Indonesia region years ago. I think it jarred the earth's axis and forever changed our weather patterns. Especially when you figure the already effects of global warming. My two cents anyway.

That quake that killed that Japanese nuke plant shifted Earth axis. I forget how much. 40 miles comes to mind as measured from a GPS satellite.

In the N end of Idaho we've had it easy........until now. Good thing, I'm trying to heal broken ribs, so I "didn't need" winter
Got a tiny bit of snow last couple of nights, but the temp dropped like a rock. At the moment it's about 20F

That's right. I forgot about that plant. I hope you heal up quickly with those ribs, cause I think the entire month is going to be cold and snow potential.

I knew there was a 2 digit number for that shift
been a while since I had looked it up. 10 meters it shifted I had the 2 digits and the "M" part right 
One car garage with the Dart wagon under construction in there. So the 47 had gotta sit outside.

No worries 65 Dartman !
There's enough steel in that car to build 3 Cudas! LOL !!
It would take an eternity for that car to rust away!!

Per the 2 prior owners, this car has sat outside since at least the 1980's! The body is rock solid Wish I could say the same about the floors lol!

Hi AA,
I saw your snow picture...WoW, that is quite a snowfall. When I saw you were in NFLD it brought back a lot of memories of what happened in Argentia. My Mom told me what happened up in Argentia before WW2 as follows...my Mom's family lived in Argentia until about Sept. 1940 when the Army came and put an eviction notice on everyone's doors....VACATE in two weeks!!! TWO WEEKS!!!! This action caused quite an uproar and the Monsigneur of the Parish had to go to the CO to tell him to stop burning down the homes in Argentia until the townspeople could be relocated to Marquise or wherever they wished to go.This action was the result of FDR and Churchill's secret meeting in Placentia Bay....the US gave Churchill 50 used destroyers and the US got Argentia and surrounding areas to build a Army Air Corps forward operating base as WW2 was on the horizon. My Grandfather Phillip O'Reilly owned the general store and livery service in Argentia and was somewhat compensated for his businesses and property by the US govt. He relocated the family to Valley Stream,NY (Long Island) and that's how my Mom and Dad met. Luckily my Dad made it off of IWO JIMA and stayed on Long Island eventually moving to East Meadow and buying a home to start a family. I still have cousins in Whitbourne and I believe their postal code is AOB 3KO. Thanks for letting me recount some of my families history.
All the Best,
Greg

Great story 318Moparguy!!
For such a small part of the world, it's amazing how many people have stories about our island ! Argentia Navel base was still in use in the early 90"s and was used for submarine surveillance via acoustic monitoring.
9-11 was also a big deal here as this was the area that all the US Aircraft were forced to land when ordered out of the air by the US Military. People still return here from the USA every year to commerate that event. There is even a memorial to all the victims of that tragic day located in Gander that is made from some of the steel of the twin towers.
