I forgot that this is the same day as Horton Winery's Marti Gras event.

oh shit! Sarah and I have been talking about this since last year. I'd almost rather go to Horton. I've had enough driving in the snow.

Who will be leaving from the DC area? I'm meeting a friend off of 66 and Nutley St, at the Microcenter parking lot at 7:00, how does 9 at the Sheetz sound?

If it was wine tastings you wanted, you should have bought a Honda Element and joined the EOC.

Tami, you are welcome to ride with me. You might find it refreshing to be with someone who pays more attention to you than some fancy timepiece on his wrist.

Y'all can do what you want, but a group tried to get from Union to Flag Pole Sunday. They never made it. 42" tires, locked f/r, etc... There were drifts over 10' tall in the road, and a lot more over 6' tall.

It's snowing again right now. Calling for 6-12", but we'll see what we get.

In other words, even if I had tire chains I don't think I could get to the top of the mountain. So, I'm going to puss out and go sit some place warm and wait to hear your stories.

LOL Thanks John, I think we're going to wuss out. If you guys want to go and see how far you can get, you could always join us at Horton after. Event goes from 11-5. Please bring the liquor chocolates, but don't ask me to sign any dotted lines.

It's not like we're trying to go through Donner Pass.

What size are your Destination M/Ts? I may have some extra chains.
