Got Snow?

Scoopie is currently buried in the snow and sorta looks like a Scion!

How awful. I hope Scoopie will not need to go into therapy after this trematic experience. Maybe you can treat her to day at the spa, by giving her a good detailing, that always make my lil guy happy.

Sorry - RuFus is in the garage, waiting out the storm.

Of course, he is covered in salt from driving down the Md yesterday.

Richmond isn't as bad as northern VA, but I still can't drive my week-old MCS Camden! Remind me not buy a new car in January again!

YAY, he got the car!

Ok, I moved out of VA PRECISELY just before the snow slammed in. And of course it snowed in my new location, but the MINI is in the shop right now, so I don't have any pics of a snowed in MINI for this year... But I DO want to contribute my "snow MINI" from last year's snow day! My neighbor even built a garage for it. In this pic, it's sitting on top of my MINI.

We only got about a foot of snow here in KC, nothing like what they're dealing with in DC and Maryland right now....

This was taken mid-morning, we got 6" more as the day went along, both my cars are still mostly buried......

Thankfully my car is parked in the garage, nice and cozy. Not clean though... It looks like somebody sprayed cement all over it. I can't wait to clean it up a little, the salt is driving me nuts!
