    Unless you like wading around through waist deep snow trying to find your ball, then yes.

    They are easy to find in the snow because 'Snow Golfers Have Purple Balls'

    not good. I am flying back from Denver tomorrow, via Chicago. I bet I don't make it home.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    You may have lucked out Jeff! CNN is saying that 200 flights were cancelled yesterday in Chicago but everything is on time this morning. They expect only minor delays due to 'de-icing' today

    Looks like you will be home in time or Christmas

    This area of the province is supposed to get whacked too. It is snowing now, and did last night.
    All I can say is.....................RETIRED, no need to go anywhere Other than some Christmas shopping I really do not need to go out.
    I hope the satelite installer can make it in on Tuesday, that is all I care about right now. I want my HD

    Just like the good ole days ---had to walk 4 blocks to the bustop through 3 feet of snow at 6:00 in the morning-----not kidding guys---1963 we were on split time at Bell High school--classes started at 7:00 am and 1st shift went home at 1:30. Construction was delayed for the new high school on Woodroffe----and we did have one snowfall like that I can't wait to see what's being cancelled for tomorow I'll bet we don 't see a snowplow on residential streets until Thursday One thing is for sure-the shopping malls will be cleaned---for every lost parking spot at this time of the year it means approx 500.00 less income for the mall

    FOUR BLOCKS? That's all? That is weak Why when I was young I had to walk 4 miles uphill through farm fields to get to school

    Seriously, I rode a bus approx. 30 miles one way to highschool. Man I can remember some days it was downright scary riding that bus in the winter. There was not too many "SNOW DAYS" back then. You got on the bus and away you went.

    One day the driver thought he could barrel through a big drift on a side road. Yeah right, he barreled into that drift, got about 8 feet in and came to a dead stop The guys got out the back door of the bus and made our way to the front and we got it moving enough he could back out. He saw the plow coming, waited and once it was plowed out we were on our merry way. Man that drift must have been 20 feet long, 5 feet high and he thought he could drive through it

    Ahh the good old days!

    Your city needs to look at how to manage their plows better. My street has been plowed twice already this morning

    I was just out to get myself a Timmies and some other stuff. Now I have an Expedition 4X4 and believe me, it was an adventure.... the plows have been nowhere near the streets, not even major streets but your right, the parking lot at one of the smaller parking lots was clean as a whistle

    I am about to go out and shovel my rather wide and long driveway for the 2nd time today to avoid breaking my back tomorrow.

    Anyone know a company in Orleans who will accept a seasonal contract at this point in the season????

    The answer I have been getting for the past week is 'sorry, we are all booked up for the season'

    I Should have thought about this before the snow came I guess and as of this Friday, I won't be doing much shovelling for the rest of the season!

    Poor poor Bugsy (I am not even allowed to drive till February at the earliest) All I can hope is she can come and pick me up the 27th I will be ready to get away from Olga!

    They said I would be having my Christmas dinner with them, but I am really hoping I can really progress with the physio fast so I can get out of there early I am going to be a weight lifting freak morning, noon and night for 4 days! Unfortunately the physio room is in a temporary trailer out by Montreal Road and it means I have to go outside for about a 100 yards to get there.... but I am going to try and get there with my walker even if it kills me!
