More Snow

Bummer

 

It appears some Tomfoolery is afoot. I wonder if the cameraman is about to get a snowball lobbed in their direction?

 

A snowball from her and probably an iceball from whoever's in that service bay, if he remembered to soak last night's snowballs in water, in order to freeze them overnight

 

What is that?!

 

58 Merc Turnpike Cruiser. It was featured on a television program a year or so ago. I think I just happened upon it. Only episode of that particular program I have seen. It was a fairly rare car even when it was new. The rear window rolled down creating what Mercury coined "the breezeway". The shop that did the work did a pretty nice job on it.

 

Holy smokes... I’ve never seen something like that. I think I’m in love

 

Tire shops on the day or the morning after the first couple of snow storms in the northern states and Canada turn into a mob scene as car owners flock to their favorite tire shop to have snow tires put on their vehicle. This image was taken in the early-to-mid-1960s of the Frisby Tire Co. (which is still active and located in Ottawa, Canada) shows just how crazy it can be as procrastinating drivers have their snow tire service performed.

For those wondering what vulcanizing means, it is a process of using heat, a bonding compound and pressure to attach rubber to rubber or metal. In the old days, a vulcanizer was used to repair tires and tubes or to attach a new tread to a tire casing.

Pretty cool huh? There's a 4 door in a yard here in town slowly sinking into the ground.

 

I just googled it. Very cool. This is another car where the 4-doors might be more desirable for me anyways. Super marauder?! Yes please!!!

We're still in the grip of the 'Snowmageddon Snowpocalypse' this weekend. Jeez.

 

You mean, a Snowpalooza?

 

I'd have to say so! Cue "Yakkety Sax:"

And at last report, the little cluckers are running around on the freeway lanes, getting made into chicken salad.
