In reply to the discussion: I'm jealous of you folks in the Northeast anticipating the storm. [View all]ProfessorGAC
(65,010 posts)62. That Storm
So, weird thing is i was on a business trip to a place north of Toronto. It snowed there, but nothing like back home.
I get back to O'Hare and they had plowed the lot. But, since my car was there the whole time, all the plowing was up against my car.
I had to get the parking lot people to help me get the car out.
Then, when i back out, i had to spend 10 minutes unpacking the snow from around the brake discs. I essentially had no brakes.
Finally, i get things right and head home, only to spend the next 90 minutes of daylight and 6 hours the next day blowing the snow.
Big fun.

I am jealous, too. I love it when it's snowing. There's a quiet beauty and a peace about it. nt

Staying in hotel and just experiencing it probably helped with my excitement.
