    Good to hear. If 7 inches fell down here people would think it's the end of the world. Poor iguanas down in Florida are all upside down waiting to thaw out

    Weather people are calling for 4"- 6" of snow, with accumulating ice this week. 3" of snow fell last week. I'm over it already.

    We had 1" last week. I remember all too well those Jersey snow storms. When I got out of the service (Nov 17th, 1969) I worked driving an oil truck in Jersey City for 3 years.

    East coast storms are weird because they can pull in a bunch of moisture from the ocean.

    Rick, I don't know how old you are but I remember the winter of '71-'72. We had 5 storms in a 2 week period and I was lucky if I did 5-6 stops a day, and that was 12-15 hour days. The snow was piled up everywhere and getting around in a oil truck was all but impossible. I worked 35 straight 10-12-15 hour days and walked into the office, told my boss I was finished for the day and I'm going home for a few days. He said that I couldn't do that, I told him I was going and for him to look at my time slips. 1 week is 168 hours and I had 110 hours in. I stayed home for 4-5 days, didn't answer the phone and then went back to work. He pitched a b**** but paid me for those days I was home. Actually he (and his brother) were the best bosses I ever had. The arthritis I have now probably started standing in the cold, damp, sleet/rain while I was filling a tank.


    I miss the Nam more than I miss Jersey!!!!!
