Yes, but damaged. I intend to keep and possibly rebuild it.

Is this still on despite the weather? I will still be there, regardless of the snow, if anyone else decides to show...

At this point I plan on heading down.

I'll leave Mora at about 2:00pm which will give me a good 2 hours to get there.

I'll check this thread before I leave and see what's up.

Yeah, this is still on for those of us who can make it...

We got a lot of rain/sleet last night, followed by a top layer of snow...

Please be careful driving.

So is that Rotunda thing where the elevator is? By underwater world and that stage thing?
At least the snow's hanging off for now.

Yup... we're going to leave the house shortly ourselves (gotta run a couple more errands along the way) - we'll see everyone around 4pm!

OK, pulled in about midnight.

It was slow going as the snow was blowing pretty hard and the visibility was poor.

Worst part really was my driveway, about 14" on the ground.

It was so deep I was plowing the snow with the bumper of my 4x4 Explorer, barely made it into the pole barn.

I'll have a few pics in the AM of our snow and some of the MOA get together.

OK - a bunch of us got back to my place between 8:45-9pm. Damien & Nicki (spell?) couldn't make it through the snow drift in front of my place to get into the driveway... so he ended up parking on the street. Kev made it to the driveway in his truck (but fell on the ice getting out), and Nick made it up the driveway (with a few extra hands pushing him through the drift).

By the time everyone left at 11:30- Midnight... Damien & Nicki backed part way out of my development before getting a little stuck (nothing they couldn't overcome easily themselves). And Nick pretty well got his car fully stuck in the drift behind my driveway (which was at least a heavy foot in most places) - and we finally found my tow strap to have kev pull him out with his 4x4. Kev & Nick were going to travel back (at least to Jordan) as a duo in case of trouble...

Dang plow guys came by at 3am. Noisy buggers.

Steve - we are really glad to see that you made it home in a "reasonable" amount of time!
You too Jason.

Despite the snow - we had 10 people show up. Dinner at Ruby Tuesday's - then a couple of "laps" around the mall to walk it off! Carissa & I both had a great time, and look forward to seeing everyone again.

I did make it... I followed Kev to highway 13 but he needed gas so I just kept going... and at 169 and 41 they had plowed arcoss the highway leaving a 18 inch high bank across 169... when I hit it it ripped off the plastic shrouding under the front lip of my bumper and under the radiator. So I dragged that for 10 miles back to Jordan.


Then I couldn't get up my driveway so I parked in the middle of the road and snowblowed the driveway at 1:00AM, my neighbors are loving me right now... sigh...

It was a good time other wise and I actually like driving in this stuff...

Oh and for Dollface:

Sounds like a blast. I just got done hand shovelling the driveway, deck, sidewalk, rear patio, front patio, steps around the side of the garage, and the back yard area where the dogs do their business....

4 1/2 hours.

I had fun last night.

Sounds like fun was had.. wish the snow would have held off for a little longer, too far of a drive in that kind of weather. I'll make the next one.

A bite to eat at Ruby Tuesdays.



After food we took a walk around the mall, Chris and Nikki had to leave.

We saw this neat T-Shirt



I got a security guard to take this group photo before we called it a night.



I had a great time, well, except for the snowy drive.

It was good to see everyone and nice to meet Damien (Dolface) and Nikki, (did I get the names and spellings right?).
