    Thought all of you people in the no snow areas would get a kick out of this . It started snowing here in Western New York a week ago it hasn’t stopped . Some people have 5 feet . As for me .. I have 3 feet and feel lucky.

    NICE! Good fire place and a nice stack of split hardwood too, I hope.

    We got back-to-back three-footers a few years ago in Baltimore & it was a trip. Power went out for more than a day, and we ain’t got no FP in the house…and the gas furnace still needs electric to fire. So that was no fun.

    My home town in western Mass has a couple feet of snowcapped with an inch of ice. Glad I moved south to middle Georgia!

    I don’t feel so bad here in southwestern Ohio now, only 5-7 inches on the ground. Can’t even imagine 3 feet.

    I’m in the Bahamas. Not much snow here! 😎

    But left a half a foot on the ground when I left home, and there has been more since then!

    Wonder if the boss would let me work from “home?”

    Better question is will he let you work from the Bahamas? Woo hoo! Merry Christmas Paul and Loren. Have a great time. You can shovel snow when you get back!

    No first-hand experience with the TDr, but I’d imagine traction on a VW-based kit to essentially be a non-issue.  Conversely, the ability to steer with the now even lighter front end, could be a HUGE issue…
    This, coming from decades of experience driving normal VW products of all shapes and sizes…

    This gives me an idea for a rally . . .

    Slalom in a large, open, snow-covered parking lot?

    I taught my oldest daughter to drive in the snow in a bug in such a parking lot.  I’d hold my thumb on the button and yank the emergency brake, throwing the car into a skid, to teach her how to recover…

    3-4 TDrs, a cone course laid out in a big lot or field. Snow snowing. Video from several angles.

    It would go viral.

    Hey Allen, that’s why “home” was in quotes.

    He doesn’ need to know I’m staying down here.

    Overnight low is going to be 69 tonight. Brrr!

    I just thought of this . When I was looking at TD’S before I bought mine somebody had one for sale where he put a snow plow blade in front of it.

    Mine was a daily driver for several years. Remember the blizzard of ’95-’96? Snow tires on the MG and I went anywhere. I was surprised at how sure footed she was. She just dug in and went.
