[color="#008000"]For Frank, another "driveway" picture. There's a driveway under all of that snow, somewhere.
As a side note, this picture made it on to one of our local news channel's websites. It was a bit of an unexpected ice storm, to stay the least.[/color]

And that's exactly why Big Green will be spending the rest of its retirement in Texas come later this year! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I hated brushing the snow off a car, let alone a fire truck. YIKES !!

It's not green, it's not outside covered with snow, it's got a few more lights on the front.
From inside the convention center after the Sunday morning Expo parade, another ALF 700.

That's a beautiful shot.

This time it's outside covered with raindrops. (Some drivers wore hats, helmets, umbrellas - this driver wore a smile!)
Then come two more 700s - a closed cab pumper, open cab MM, Beacon-Ray and Roto-Ray. One good thing about parading in the rain is the relative darkness which makes the warning lights stand out .
Damn all that construction in B'more. It really screws up the background.
Phil.
