    Whoa! That thing looks sweet! Like a bike trailer with skis. I do something similar up at my cabin. I have an older plastic sled that was mine when I was a kid. I tie a rope to it and around my waste and drag him behind me as we walk to the lake, through the woods, etc... Something like that would be good for my 10 month old too. Thanks! Might look into it.

    It is very cool. It is a jogging, skiing, strolling, biking stroller. Thing is very versatile and very useful.
    Pricey, but worth it. My son and I got some great skiing days in last year.

    I rarely drive the turnpike. NYC is crazy with tolls. That I know. I can't imagine living there. I was there in April for my BIL's wedding. I swear every turn we made there was a damn toll.

    $17 to go from Breezewood to Cranberry this year for the holidays. Luckily we only make the trip 2-3 times per year so not so bad.

    Awesome, thanks!! I have seen these before but held off on buying one because we rarely get bad storms around here. Might change my mind after this weekend though :)

    I like 79, nice open highway most of the time. Agree that Pittsburgh has some pretty inefficient roads. Using a a GPS is near impossible with all of the flyovers and roads/highways paralleling each other. And bridges galore!

    Yeah. The GPS does get confused depending on what ramp you're on. And downtown the signal gets F'd too.

    That's the point... they have more than twice the lanes, cars are just as congested, and they move along at the speed limit. It is crazy to drive through. Fast paced chaos.

    Not expensive. Do it


    Additionally, with all the hype on the Friday/Saturday storm... I think they overlooked last night's forecast. Like, no mention of it until it fell from the sky...all 3" of it

    Yeah I turned on the news yesterday and Jeff Verszyla said "We did predict this snow, but people seemed to have forgotten because of all the coverage of Fridays storm"

    I guess he got hate mail about not warning people of it. Because he said it with a slight attitude. LOL.

    Same here, my kids and I are extremely disappointed in the the non-event for us here. We've got a sledding hill that the kids are dying to use but not enough snow to do anything about it. Last time we got a light coating the kids went out there anyway and basically were sledding on the leaves, lol! A few inches a week would be nice if for anything just to give us something nice to look at! :notsure:
