Ok Colorado people, lets ***** about snow...

Man this storm sucks! Theres probably about 30 inches outside, and I am SNOWED IN FOR THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW! I am going stir crazy. My SVX did manage to plow about 10 feet backwards out of the driveway, but is now stuck at the edge of my cul-de-sac, and now is so stuck I cant go forwards or backwards! But I did verify that my AWD is working, because I can watch the back tires spin as I hit the gas .The front tires arent moving at all though, so I am stuck until the plows ome to rescue me.

Just thought Id complain alittle, and im bored out of my mind. Other colorado people need to jump in and complain alittle too!

Alright I'll pitch in!

Only problem is... I'm kind of a glass is half full kind of guy.

Hell yeah I'm snowed in for two days!

My REX and SVX are not going to be moving for awhile.

Did I mention... I can't get to work tomorrow!

Looks like my vacation starts early... twelve days off!

Only bummer is that I really wanted to go out and play with the SVX in the snow. Guess I'll go to the old Westland Target's abandoned parking lot on Saturday.

Hey Im in Chicago

Don't complain about snow cuz we get it here all the time and the worse part about it all is that nothing closes here when it snows. Schools are still open work is still working and yall closed in just relax a little and maybe make a new baby.

Ugh, all this talk about snow makes me unhappy. Send me some! FedEx me a few tons! Ottawa's supposed to be all white this time of year, but there isn't a single snowflake anywhere. I've only gone out to do donuts once!!!!

I have to tell you guys, I'm really jealous of the snow you're getting in Colorado. The most snow I've seen at a time since moving to IL is about 6".

That grass, man...it's so green over there.

No snow huh? Maybe Ill move to Ottawa

I finally managed to get free this morning. The stupid city of Fort Collins doesnt think that neighborhood roads are worth plowing, so my neighbor borrowed some machinery from his job, and plowed our street out. I still had to shovel out my tires, but once on the road, I was unstoppable! At least I am no longer trapped in my house, it was getting quite old and boring.
