Fucking pussies….when I was kid we would be clearing the walk with a spoon, with old newspaper wrapped on feet, we couldn’t afford shoes!!!

Went to visit grandparents in Jackson. Took us like 18 hours to make it back home. Huge 4 door LTD . All you had was rear wheel drive. People would help push a car to the top of the hill and then you would walk back down and help the next car get up. That would never happen nowadays. We ended up abandoning our car at the end of our road and walking the rest of the way home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There for a minute I was thinking maybe this huge storm would put the kibosh to the family Christmas Eve because we'd all be snowed in.
