Looks like a levee broke out in Fernely.

Houses flooded.

My sisters and I hiked up the ridge behind my house about 400ft and established a sled run in some 2-3ft deep powder on a steep jeep trail. All the while the snow was doing about 1" per hour.

Lots of sled donkeys were sighted, resulting in spectacular wrecks.

Heres my car at Nick's house.

So fun trying to get into Cold Springs between 4:00 - infinity on Friday night. :|

So fun playing dodge the sliding FWDs and other jacknacks... :huh:

The snow donkeys got all excited, but we didn't actually let him drive.

This was the worst we got, and Round Table still refused to deliver today :mad:

The Fernley flood just missed Pat Housel's place. These are pictures from 1&1/2 blocks down the street and 3 blocks behind him.

Yeah, I haven't washed the car since the last autox. :oops: I still need to stick another cone kill decal on the other side, too.

In retrospect, my comment about Round Table sounds really crass and inconsiderate amongst the discussion about the flooding. I should note that it was less, "I want my pizza," and more, "I ran a store for three years and it bothers me to see a place shut down a key part of its business for less than two inches of snow." :|

At any rate, it's fun to watch the boy learn new stuff. He's not talking yet (he's only 16 months so far) but he understands a lot, and it's neat to see it in effect. I also would never have realized that he'd been paying attention to us when getting in the car until he went up and tried to specifically open the driver's side door.

He's also apparently been watching me drive. . . we stuck him in the driver's seat for a moment, and instead of just screwing with the steering wheel, he went right for the shift lever. Subaru enthusiast in the making? :lol:

I kept the snow donkeys at bay all week. I had a training class from Tuesday through Friday in Sac, and didn't feel like fighting the ski morons back up friday night so I waited til Saturday. As luck would have it I got to Applegate about 4 minutes after they closed 80 at 1:30 on Saturday. :mad: Turned back, had dinner, then left Vacaville in a lull around 6:45. Got home at 10:15, with chian controls up from Colfax to Boomtown, no incidents. All the news outlets were telling everyone not to go ANYWHERE for 3 days, so traffic was nice and light which helped my sanity. I don't mind the snow donkeys; I hate the effect of more than 3 morons in the same place at the same time on a snow covered freeway.

All I can say is that I miss my STi. :(

This last storm made me think about getting the Legacy a lift kit.:D

To be fair there's no grass so it's not really a lawn. :P

MattR 2008-01-07 03:58 PM

Hey! That's my packing spot! Aaron had an STi as a yard car teh day I was there...

sybir 2008-01-07 04:23 PM

We haven't put down the pavers there yet, and there's less bird crap on that side of the driveway ;)

And yes, the ghetto follows me.

Let's not forget such classics as:

I was originally looking into the Outback but it now only comes in the wagon.
