    Hope those light bars were the definition of JUNK. They bring good money even if old and a little rough...

    We got between 8-9 inches of snow and about a inch of sleet and ice. Temp was -5 this morning. That's rare for Arkansas.

    We had plenty of time to prepare for it. I moved alot of stuff into my shop and plan on doing some sorting and stripping today.

    I woke up to about 15 inches overnight, with 2 foot drifts in my driveway. Shovelled thesidewalk, put the truck in 4x4. Brakes started clunking and screaming around the corner, so I threw it in reverse and left it til tomorrow. Hope to strip some copper and play guitar in between shovels.

    Yeah, for some reason Arkansas seems to avoid a majority of any snow fall or super cold weather. My sis and her family live down that way. Always trying to talk me into moving down there. I would love it to get away from the inconsistent weather of Illinois.
