Good one Vince!
However, next time you need to attach a definition of what snow is (for all of us South Texans).

Vince,
Christmas was good. My wife spent the next day in my rifle range (back yard) shooting at targets with the new rifle that I bought her for Christmas. She even had me out there poppin a few caps.

Well, Vince, since you started this thread on having fun in the snow, I thought I'd pile on! My travel this month has had me in the thick of winter. Snow and 2 degs in Cedar Rapids Iowa. I was on one of two flights that made it into Chicago in during thier winter storm with 40+ mph winds. Later that week, I was on the first flight into Atlanta after their ice storm. This week its Boston and thier Blizzard that ranked in the top 10 ever snowfall accumulations in 24 hours. They got 18.4" officially but it was enough to make things interesting. It delayed our travel to see family a day so while Boston dug out on Monday we used the buses and subways to get around. Phone lines were down so we couldn't check to find out what was opened but thought we would take the chance and visit the Samuel Adams Brewery. Here's a picture of me walking up to the brewery on the plowed street since the sidewalks were burried just like the cars that were wind sculptured into aerodynamic wonders.

Here's the brewery and all the kegs they distribute to the local area.

I asked if they would redirect the kegs to "DownUnder" to replenish your supplies but they only deliver locally.
So while we enjoyed free beer from the tap, I poured one for you!
Wish you could have been here!!

That is great Cary...wish my missus would use a rifle...she just plain ain't interested...in fact she dislikes any firearms.

WOW...that sounds like you had some real winter "fun" mate. Would have been real interesting landing in all that snow, ice and wind mate.
That is a very nice looking brew mate...will have to have a search around and see if I can get Samuel Adams beer at my local bottlo'. Thanks for having a beer for me mate...nothing more than what I would expect from a mate. I was there in spirit mate...nothing surer than that.
Cheers, Vince
