    I just about drive the length of I 80 every day in PA. Just wondering if anyone else has had enough of this winter and is ready for Spring?

    LOL...........are you kidding? I live in Virginia Beach and never seen boats in this area covered with ice until this winter. The bilge in my sail boat has been frozen solid for the past 10 days. :biggrin_2554:

    Yup.......I'm ready.

    The problem is PENNDOT. They suck. Every other state not only plow the lanes but the shoulder as well. Not in PA. They barely plow the entire lane. The next day you have 3/4 of a lane to drive on. Cars coming at you because they are running out of dry road. No place to pull over without risking getting stuck. Horrible......

    Yup. Got stuck in the snow ON the PATP on an upgrade 100 yards from the entrance to the Lehigh tunnel a couple of weeks ago. Had to wait for the plow train to come by, while listening to one of the tunnel maintenance guys telling me that I had to move my truck out of the travel lane because it was impeding traffic. I guess my spinning drive tires weren't enough evidence that I wasn't able to move. And the fact that in the 30 minutes I'd been there only two other vehicles were seen was apparently wasted on him...

    Why does everyone seemed shocked that we are having extreme weather patterns? , I mean what do we think is going to happen when our scientists are screwing around with our atmosphere? ....those chem trails they are leaving in our skies fluff out into clouds just in case some you haven't noticed

    I don't miss the winters in New England. The winters are usually pretty mild in my area. I gave up my man card years ago when it comes to winter.
