The worst part of driving in the snow here is dodging the seasonal workers that forgot to go south again. The place looks like a war zone the day after a snow. Most have no concept of slow down.

I can do snow just fine, but ice is another story. A 4X4 is no better than a car, in fact its worse. I swapped out the truck today for the wifes camry with the new studded snow tires, now were talking. Anyway here are a few pics of my day and how the morning started out.

Installing the new furnace.

Normally, ice when its crunchy I can fly up the hill, this was not that way, it was rain that had froze, very smooth and dangerous.
