    How much of the 30" do you already have?

    We have a little over an inch but we are at least 6-7 hours behind in storm time. I'm due east of that area-located along the Bay of Green Bay.

    I used to be the same way. Will not do that anymore. Not worth it even if you have an all wheel vehicle.

    At 4:45 there is nobody on the road, I drive with my brights on because no oncoming traffic till St cloud then you get in full defensive driving mode.

    Made it to my daughter’s house about a half hour ago. It was an interesting drive with the crazy wind. Most of the time it was a headwind so I averaged 12.5 mpg towing the boat.

    Tomorrow should be a really good day for fishing.

    Point of order! Unless you are complaining about the gas mileage, this doesn't qualify as a rant. Alternative interpretation: retired guy complains about having to drive while stopping to visit daughter and grandchild as a part of a fishing road trip. :lol:

    Yet, if he did nothing and there was 30", pitchforks would be out in force.

    We are all at the mercy of the weather terrorists....MF ers

    The fishing may be good or bad tomorrow, but getting to play with this little angel will definitely be the highlight of the trip.

    I hate babies; that is easily the cutest baby I have ever seen.
    Going to drown myself now.
