3AM Snowing & Not a Cloud in the Sky

And oh the clarity with which i can see the stars and the moon. Never heard of this, have I? Chowing on Singapore Mei Fun just now in my cold living room. Just to complete the picture. No nothing is warm on the wood stove top.

It's snowing and there is not a cloud to be seen.

Happy Holidays to You My Friends

John

Nice description. I had one last night too. Well it was actually this night, but Friday night, not Sat. morning. About 9 p.m. sitting in the outdoor hot tub with a slice of bbq chicken pizza and a cold Tanner's Jack. More stars than I've seen since last summer in Maine. Amazingly clear sky. Huge shooting star blazes from the east to south west then about three seconds after it goes out there is a big white burst of light way out there in space at the end of the meteor trail. What a clear night.
I would trade you a slice of that pizza for some Sing. mei fun.

Steve, more pizza??

I know what you mean about the hot tub though. We put one in a couple years ago and got up at 4am for a meteor shower in February and it was awesome. Nothing beats a hot tub in the winter!

John, I got Santa to get my winter tires. I had to pay for the steelies but it's cheap money at $160. I decided on the Dunlop Winter Sport M2s, since usually there is a good amount of dry pavement especially because my commute is almost all on highways. They were shipped end of last week I think. Going to have to take the Trooper to work tomorrow I think due to the snow.

Congrats on the snows! Runflats are worth the peace of mind alone. You're winter punk now!

Lucky you with MORE snow!

Looks like mid march out there.

Snow snow snow!

Nah, they aren't runflats, the M3s are. Just a little compromise on snow/dry, rather than the Blizzaks which are moreso for snow and not as great dry road fun.

What do you carry in case you lose one? I have AAA and the MINI Roadside, I heard that the fixaflat gunk sucks for when you have to take the tire off.

Oh, and I am always a punk!

No, but you'd have to put up with us. Even if you didn't let us in, we'd sit in the drive revving our engines... then you'd have to come out and show off the NOx..! :S
