Here's a forum fav

@bluewave loved it too. Too bad the image he posted is gone. (Most images from 7-8 years ago are gone)

My favorite CCB ever!!

Lol Btw I pinned a new thread for strolls down memory lane.

Talk about past storms in here. Posts all your favorites and the ones you hated too. It might help keep the main disco threads from going too far off the rails. TIA.

Btw, when a legit storm threat comes around we will make sure there's less banter

It's too hard to scroll past posts or posters you dont want to read? I do it often Ok there HM

I'm so glad you're ok. Just relax and read old snowstorm threads
