Snowplowing at our place

Post by LiftedAWDAstro »

Here are a couple videos Ben (my son) took with his 5th gen Ipod Nano. These are of plowing snow here after we got a couple days of lake effect. We didn't get a lot of snow...probably 8" or so. I can't believe the quality of the video this little Nano took. Ben is a little wobbly and was even running while taking the video but a good job nonetheless. Disregard the gloves and fingers :muhaha: .

Larry, if that white stuff ever came down that far, you'd probably be hunkered down waiting for the end of days.

Think you're right,,maybe down around Skip in Orlando or better yet, Key West. Keep my mouth shut in the future about how warm it is down here. :yawinkle:

Bailey drug her blanket out to catch a few rays this morning and with all that fur guess it's getting cold if she's covering herself up.

Doesn't look very happy to me.

Ya, Larry, come on down here. We're having a heat wave. Only 28* here in "O" town. And I have seen enough snow here on Beggs Rd. to cover the front lawn. I think it was in '76. Only once though in the 43 years I've lived here. \:D/

Neighbor was from Chicago and had chains,,the neighborhood had him on the grocery runs. :muhaha:
