I cannot believe that it is snowing already. If I could only have a heated shop to work in instead of my driveway.

I'm the same way. I'm just glad that the new house has a heated pole building I can use to work in...

6" have now fallen with 4 more inches expected today. I wish I could host pics so that I could show people that it does snow it Texas.

People will tell you that angina hurts in your left sholder and goes down your arm

I'm here to tell you that it can also feel like working in sub-freezin' temps

Be careful guys....If you get that burnin stuff in your throat and upper chest BEWARE!

Went home today at lunch to find broken branches on my trees and a three and half foot high snow drift beside my house.

I love snow, but I did not expect it this early. I guess my truck hobby will be put on hold for a while.
