Hmmm, this is not helping your case to convince us scooter tramps that CO is the place we want to move. [smiley=nervous.gif]

So much for going outside in a house coat and slippers to get the morning paper. :(

Wow!!! [smiley=vrolijk27.gif] Now I understand why you took the opportunity to take that ride the other day in 30 degree weather. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Having owned an 02 Harley F-150.........that's something I'd just avoid and drive another vehicle.  I'm not sure if you've installed those Bel Tech drop shackles on the rear (to make the rear sit level with the front) but if you did, you certainly don't have much room under there for chains flopping around.

Man, you guys really took a beating yesterday........I feel for you.

ITS DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! I'VE READ THIS BOOK...  BB make room, im comin!

ANOTHER MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS ARIZONA TONIGHT
AND INTO NEW MEXICO ON THURSDAY. AS A RESULT...SNOW WILL DEVELOP
BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON IN AND NEAR THE FRONT RANGE MOUNTAINS AND
FOOTHILLS INCLUDING THE I-25 URBAN CORRIDOR BY MID DAY THURSDAY.
THE [highlight]SNOW IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY INTENSIFY AND BECOME HEAVY AT
TIMES LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SNOWFALL RATES UP TO 2
INCHES PER HOUR WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN THE FRONT RANGE
FOOTHILLS.[/highlight]
THIS STORM MAY COME IN TWO DISTINCT WAVES. THE FIRST WOULD AFFECT
MAINLY THE FRONT RANGE AND I-25 URBAN CORRIDOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND NIGHT. [highlight]STRONG WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED WITH THIS FIRST BURST OF
HEAVY SNOW. HOWEVER...ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY SNOW IS POSSIBLE
ACROSS ALL OF NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL COLORADO LATE FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY. THIS WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY STRONGER NORTH
WINDS...WHICH COULD PRODUCE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER THE
NORTHEASTERN PLAINS.[/highlight] DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES ABOUT THE EVENTUAL TRACK
OF THE STORM AND WHERE THE HEAVIEST SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR...
THE WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE NORTHEASTERN PLAINS HAS BEEN
CONTINUED AT THIS TIME.

OK... I'm officially tired of blizzards. I probably won't make it to work this Friday because of the one heading our way. Oh joy, I get to chew up another precious vacation day while I'm snowed in.

Hey! SEULTRA
You guys have one beautiful state ( In the Summer ) when we were there in June at C.C. I told soozie that I'd like to move here for maybe three months [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] Sorry your having all those blizzards. The only Blizzards we get here are from DairyQueen in about six different flavors [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]
