Re: PESO: Model A Woody
Wow, that is a beautiful car; and a very nicely done photo. The snow is almost completely gone here already, and the last bits will get washed away by the inch of rain and 60F/16C temperatures forecast for this afternoon.

PESO: Model A Woody
We were smack dab in the middle of Winter Storm Kayla yesterday (to use the Weather Channel's vernacular) and it was one of the most impressive blizzards that we've had for many years. When this much snow is accompanied by this much wind (45-50 mph) you end up with nearly windswept areas and then huge long drifts that are 5 or 6 feet deep. (I realize our 15" is nothing compared with the two and three feet of snow you saw back east just a short time ago - but let me whine a bit. I still need to dig the car out of the driveway with snow up to the windows all around it.) :) Anyway, I was going back through some old image folders and found this vehicle which I thought that some might enjoy.
