Slow moving on this snowy morning...



Such were the scenes on the way duhn tuhn, this morning, n'at.

Seven miles traveled at the break-neck speed of 5-10mph!

I didn't have time to adjust the photo to include my ExpyII.

Sometimes a half inch causes more trouble than several inches. The roads glaze over faster.

Working to beat the devil, and fighting traffic along the way.

If some people didn't drive so poorly, everyone would be better off.

It's snowing as we "speak," and #1 son just got into his car (which is under MY insurance ) to head duhn tuhn for German Club.

YOU ASKED!

Craigster.... will the snow be removed by the GTG? Need to know if tire-chains are to be the option of choice? Ciao, COL58

I know you guys can get sick of it, but when I got in on Wednesday I was bummed that all the snow had melted. I am glad I got to see some early in my trip here. I had a nice drive on the turnpike from Cranberry into Arnold this morning. It was a little slick when I went to Pittsburgh mills at lunchtime. But by the time I headed back to Cranberry after my second appointment the road had been salted and were clear. Going to dinner this evening was another story, roads were pretty bad by then, but most of the issues seemed to be more driver related than weather. You'd think these people would be used to snow by now around here.
But boy oh boy, I am NOT used to the cold.

Rather interesting first post, don't you think ? Considering that not only is the OP a very well known and well-liked member of our community, but also has a wealth of knowledge and skill in his particular area of expertise, that is hitherto unknown in this forum. We have never had a locksmith/safe technician of his caliber on the forum , and I for one am glad to know him. You ? Probably not so much.

Yeah, when it comes to state-of-the-art safework, nobody can touch our Craig. Little wonder then that he finds himself a heralded & welcome addition at any watch forum that he chooses to visit, while proudly displaying the one and only UserID he has ever needed.
