I got Dumped
On that is , got up this morning and looked outside to see my car , its only been parked there for 11 hours and its covered up were getting craploads of snow this week , this winters gonna be ugly . well at least its a nice tropical 27 degrees , hopefully by the time it gets down to -65 degrees ill be gone
I remember the struggle against the elements from my time in MN.(winter temps much of the winter tend to be as cold or colder thanmoist of AK).It was kinda fun using your car as a kinda spaceship against an incredibly hositile environment.Good Maintenance and full gas tanks were a must.
A hassle when doing it , but looking back it was kinda fun.

yah its a ton of snow , but i think ill take it over lake effect snow that micigan and minnesota gets , they get nasty wet winters we get alot of snow till mid demeber then its too cold for even snow , not much precipiatation happens around -65 , at blair lakes range where i used to work i saw -80 with the wind chill factor for the 30mph wind off the mountains , thats cold . no way to get out there other than by chopper (or ice bridge every 2 years) so it makes me worry about the rotors on the blackhawk shearing off , but they never do . i miss those days

'I hope you've got a good coat of wax on that car."
