I remember sending this video to Patty the other day. We are currently in the middle of a blizzard so I could use this. I doubt my Spider convertible will do well with a foot of snow followed by actual temps of -20 F. Thankfully I have all my personal and vacation days back. Gotta go make two cycle gas for the snowblower.

@BMN : Meth often makes them feel like they are "overheated" etc. I've seen it so many times on my reserve sheriff duty work. I've seen them also tie off their arms with turniquettes to attempt to stop more of the drug passing but it's always too little too late.
