I know, Its in the 50s here and probably teens at night, all the snow is melting and we hardly have any snow in the mountains. We Usually have about 10 to 15 feet of snow in the mountains by now but there is less than a foot... If it doesn't start snowing we will have one dry summer thats for sure.

No snow here but after a hectic week with a funeral, houseful of relatives, & Christmas I took "Gumby" out for a little solitude and reflection in the mountains.

Good fun Joshua!  I had the jeep out on Christmas eve...but no snow here! (lots of good looks though!)   Not to snow on your parade of fun, but shouldn't those kids on the sleds be wearing bike helmets, elbow and knee pads, goggles and all the other safety crap!?  Good to see regular fun!  You got the right idea!

I had mine out today, using it to haul branches I was pruning off my fruit trees. 45 degrees today. I'm happy for low utility bills so far,anyway. I was joking with my wife last night that the neighbors must think it's not going to snow this year, and that's the reason no one brought me any Christmas cookies this year  (I plow the street in my little neighborhood-no one else has a tractor that can do it)

WOW, that looks like great fun. No snow here in southern Wisconsin. This is the 3rd time my nephew has been up from Texas for Christmas with hopes of playing in the snow only to see trees without leaves and brown grass. Unhappy

to many jeeps, parts, and accessories to list here, but apparently enough to keep me in trouble with my wife.
