Another XJ crosses the 300K line

[fishinpolejoe]

I went to work this morning on a snow packed, ice covered mountain road. My XJ did a great job of keeping me between the ditches with the studded tires on the back.

I started it up to go back home on the same nasty roads and noticed that the odometer had turned over 300K miles. Only about 50,000 miles are mine but it still makes me proud.

Last year's pic but today wasn't much different.

I'm surprised you don't get much snow. I live in a valley, so to speak, as well. By "Virginia - southwest tip" I don't mean Roanoke. I'm an hour west of Bristol in the VERY tip of the state. I can be in Harlan county KY where hosts "The Crawl" in about twenty minutes or so. The ridge to the north on the VA/KY line keeps much of the harsher weather off of us year round but we still get our fair share. KY always gets hit harder though.

I used to work near Richmond and have seen some serious snow/ice at Staunton, and the Richmond area and everywhere between here and there.

Looks like you are under a blizzard warning. Stay safe and I hope they can keep the power on for you. We are getting some freezing rain right now (that I barely got home in front of) and expecting heavy snow to start falling around 5:00 a.m. We're suppose to get 3-5 inches today.

Now The Weather Channel says 5-6 inches for today and an additional 1-3 inches tonight. Glad I'm not scheduled to work today.
