Welcome home.

Better snow than crabby folks and the irrationally violent.

In Ohio on 12/6 the best way to travel was by dog , but as it was 66F yesterday , it's back to grassy again today.

Come on. Who drives and Audi TT in a place that gets as much snow as Wisconsin?

Took me over an hour to dig out the plow droppings at the end of my driveway this morning (it is pretty, though).

Glad the worst didn't happen to you on the way home!

Are you kidding? This car is brilliant on the snow and ice. I can't think of a better car.

Yeah but what's the carbon footprint on that thing?

Less than the average Canadian's snowblower, I'd guess.

You never have to dig out a subway.

Never say never.

Digging out plowed driveways and cars is excellent exercise.

I was out walking yesterday before the plows...just beautiful.

Ruth Anne Adams ayon kay ...

Silvio! Missed ya!

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

And I have to wonder: is seeing your car in such as state, and knowing you have to dig it out, is that the worst thing to happen to you today?

What did the agent know when you talked to her this morning!!?

Paddy O ayon kay ...

Trooper, you do have to sometimes bail them out.

Trooper York ayon kay ...

True PaddyO, but you have the compensation of wet t-shirts. Ya got to take the good with the bad.

My yard looked pretty much like yours - maybe 8" of new heavy, wet snow.

Doggone global warming!

Sissy Willis ayon kay ...

Has Silvio adopted the veil?

Really, a friend of mine had one the first year they came out in Denver and it was like trying to steer a hockey puck on ice. Good to know they've improved. My wife has an A4 that's awesome in the snow.

Trooper York ayon kay ...

The F train never skidded on the ice. Not once.

Course you can't cut the line for the turnstile and not get slapped.
But I'm sure it's the same if you jump the line for cow tipping.

What? No LOLCATS caption?

IM IN MADISON, VALIN YOR CARZ.

Or something; I can't really do the accent.

He probably didn't have the Quattro. You don't want a front-wheel-drive car around here. Mine's 4-wheel-drive and rock solid.

Ron ayon kay ...

Ah, I see Silvio is up-armored with the snow!

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Welcome back - dust off your shovel and...well, get to work.

Robert Holmgren ayon kay ...

Van Galder bus from O'Hare through Rockford, Beloit, and Janesville, or direct to Truax?

Michael The Magnificent ayon kay ...

Any thoughts on scheduling a Madison Althouse gathering for this coming weekend?

Jennifer ayon kay ...

Geez. It's 80 degrees here today. If I'm stuck on the mainland, I want my seasons dangit.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

Are there enough Madison readers to do a thing here? Email me at my annalthouse gmail address if you'd come. And what would be the perfect Madison locale? Actually, I know!

blake ayon kay ...

What is that white stuff all over your car? Cocaine?


When its gray in L.A.,
I sure like it that way
Cuz there's way too much sunshine ‘round here
I don’t know about you, I get so sick of blue skies
Wherever they always appear

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

I'll trade you that snow for the ice storm we're supposed to get today. Deal?

JudgeNot ayon kay ...

There is nothing like Lake Mendota in the winter.....
