Snowmageddon isn't over yet, at least for Massachusetts! Going outside for some more shoveling fun!

I don't know Mike and Bob, you guys are really missing out on some good aerobic exercise and strength training.

Hi Chris, Sorry for your trouble. When we lived in western PA I had the pure pleasure of moving by shovel and or two throwers or blowers 136" of "Partly Cloudy" every winter at least! So when our daughter and the GRANDKIDS got transferred to Richmond ...we moved! Yesterday I did go flying and darn it the temperature went to 72 degrees! However the Rest Of The Story the winds got up to about 20+/- mph thus blowing my Air Trails Smoothie out of several inside loops as well as one overhead eight! Got it down in one piece and enjoyed a nice chat with a flying buddy for the rest of the afternoon!

You and the rest of the Nest gang are living through modern world history! Where's that global warming we her so much about!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Phil,

Not too much trouble, really. I guess it is all about what you are used to and what you are prepared for. We've got what, only 1/2 of your typical western PA winter, and I am sure that 120" of snow is called a drought somewhere else in our great country.

The snow started to fall as we taxied out to take off from O'Hare in November 1966, 4 hours later we landed at LAX and it was 100 degrees. My mom called back to Lombard and the snow was halfway up to the eves, we were eating tacos on the porch. next day the snow was up to the eves, Uncle Bill arrived in mom's MGB and we ate more tacos. Thanks mom and dad.
Today I was in the back yard in the Palisades, 74 degrees, sunny. Tomorrow we'll go to Whittier for some flights, lunch sounds ike tacos...
Chris...

The electric Vampire I was working on thought I had moved...then the snow hit here in MA. Now I'm back in building mode. Spring will be here before you know it and I will be challenging gravity.
