Nate,

The time is still 430. We are dead here at work so I will be out early.

I am still not sure about parking on a school parking lot with people trying to do snow removal. I am thinking parking On Landing may be a better idea? There is room there to back in and be far enough from the pavement for plows to pass(if it keeps snowing). I would feel better parking at the P&R but I know you guys like to meet and start from the other side.

No way Parking on Landing road...I'm parking where I always park, no plows are going to get in the way...and or P&R if ya all decide...at least getting to the Park & Ride would be easier since it's right at the freeway...versus the little Montgomery Rd....lets us all know Mr. Weather....:)

"Mr. Weather" .... who is that? :p

I will meet ya at the same place then Ed. The only reason I say anything is b/c I use to help Howard County with snow removal years ago at public schools. When the plows/atv's/bobcats... go to work all personel at the school... if any.... would be asked to clear the parking lots. At River Hill High School in Clarksville, once staff was asked and cars were still present that were in the way they were towed out of the way.

Doesnt matter to me... my large truck would be the last they try to move! :thumbsup:

Since most of you guys have 4x4's you might just want to pull up one side up above the curb and leave it there if you're worried about the plows. I don't think they'll mind too much if you're out of the way.

The P&R or Landing Road might be better options though.

I think parking at the school is the best option BUT instead of parking in the school lot I think parking on the road in front of the school is a good option. Thoughts?

Can't we all just park at Cracker's house?

Well I have made up my mind. This is really not a big deal! We all can meet in the park.

Marshall is coming from UMBC and would need a ride over to the Howard side. Instead of me driving us and trying to find some place to shove a 4 door long bed dually and be out of plows way....

I will just meet him at the Park n Ride at 430 and drop in from there. :) If you guys are dropping in from the Howard side lets meet at the Swinging Bridge at a certain time. Easy enough.

Cold be damn. I'm in for this evening.

I'm a-ok for meeting at the swinging bridge. Will be riding in from my house so this works out better since I get to avoid riding on Landing Rd which is already scary in the dry and will be something else in this condition.

Mr. Weather here.........

Main roads are fine and just wet. Seems some side roads are still covered and a little slick. Precip has stopped here on the Baltimore County side of the Park and temps are staying steady so hopefully muck does not occur under the snow! :p

Eujin, dont let your ass get soaked on the way to the bridge. That would make for a shitty ride. U need a Salt water/flap for your commute! lol.....
