Snow day, and rationalization of 4WD!
For those of you outside the midwest, last night a winter storm came through and dumped ice then snow on us. Though the conditioned varied depending on where you were, we have about 12-16 inches of snow here. When I got up this morning, it was still snowing and blowing pretty hard. I got phone […]
