I don't use Tapatalk but had an account from trying it out a couple years ago. Someone sent me a message on there a few months ago so I checked it out and now I get emails anytime someone quotes me. Trying to figure out how to get it to stop...

"Getting flashed" has a whole different meaning in the UK. Better not go there..

Forget the headlights on the 17s it is the tail lights that are blinding. When Ultra and I were following @johan through Portland we actually winced every time he stepped on the brakes. The tail lights alone were bad but those freakin' brake lights are bright!

3 days ago, there was a huge snowstorm. So today when weatherman said another snow storm gonna hit, everyone was scared to drive. At work decent amount of staff called in “sick”... which I call BS, but whatever.

FYI this is the current weather condition:

Roads are decently clear & salted, drove to work without an issue.

TLDR; Never trust weatherman nor weather forecast.

Where is the snow from the prior huge snowstorm? I see what we call a "light dusting"

Yeah, it's mild for sure. Snow is lightly sticking to the road, but nothing to go crazy about. I drove my wife's WRX w winter tires today (cuz she can't drive atm), but even w my BRZ I would of been perfectly fine. IDK what ppl are complaining bout

Well, the majority of the time I'm blowing past people in most snow conditions.

Imo, if you can't drive in adverse weather, you should just stay at home.

Here, we get a crazy weather of cold and hot and back to cold. 3 days ago's snow storm did get bout 1~2 feet of snow in the valley (prob over 4 feet up in the mountain), but next 2 days it got sunny and warm (+40 degree). result most of the snow melted. We rarely get more than 3 feet of snow in the valley and when we do, everyone thinks it's an armageddon

True, but we have track (railroad system). It's not the best, but decently good enough. It almost go end to end of the county system. Plus our work do refund the money if you buy ticket to use track system... but whatever. As you can see, I'm here posting here instead of work. It's pretty damn slow at the work and prob be that way whole day.

OK, it's Monday morning and our daughter dropped off her three sick daughters.

No school for them today ...... they are scattered around the house, wrapped in blankets.

We have the Wiggle House going on a portable DVD player; "Alexa" is playing some sort of music and the TV is blaring out some sort of high pitched, whiney, pre teen program.

Two hours till nap time ...........
