Looks like you got a 3-4 year supply all at once. Now that you have enough to see, don't forget that if it's yellow, it ain't edible.

What a snow job!

Huh? They have Huskies in NC?

Palmettoes more likely. They'll probably just barely survive. It snows at Myrtle Beach sometimes, occasionally gets quite cold, and the palmettoes seem to survive. Your climate is a bit more marginal, but a little snow doesn't necessarily doom them.
We got a lot more snow than expected here too. I hope the roads are cleaned up by Sunday night.
There is NOTHING as ugly as a dead palm tree, especially one killed by freeze.
I lived in Houston during the great 1983 Christmas freeze. A LOT of palm trees died then, and most of them were just left there.

And I thought I was having a problem because so many pecans were falling off the trees and getting lost in the leaves.

Only 3 1/4"? We got about 38" in Nov/Dec. And it's -2 outside right now.

You weren't supposed to give away the secret about my incredible mysterious powers over the weather!
And, BTW, why don't you have a cab or tonneau cover over your pick-up bed? Now you're gonna have to shovel all that snow. That's pretty dumb!

If you're going to have a bed cover, might as well just drive an SUV.
I have a rolling bed cover. It is sort of like those covers you used to see with a bazillion snaps all around the bed, but instead of snaps, there is a line of velcro along each side of the bed that holds the cover closed and a latching mechanism at the back of the bed to hold it tight and closed (I know, I'm not doing a real good job of describing this). Takes about 30 seconds to open the cover and roll it to the front in order to use the bed as a full pick-up bed. Otherwise, one can use the bed with the cover in place like an enclosed trunk. Best of both worlds.
Nah, sissy stuff. Real men drive trucks where you can see the road through the gaping rust holes in the bed. :)
(Yeah, like I'm qualified to have an opinion on this issue anyway. I don't have a truck. I borrow Dad's mini van to go buy wood and stuff. A mini van! Bleah!)

'zactly what I have too. Great for keeping the snow out of the bed and off the plywood (and the road dust off the moose quarters).

Then I shan't dig my hole any deeper by mentioning the bedliner. :-)
Whatever works. My dad is 1000 miles away, same for FIL -- have to be self-sufficient out here.

Yeah, to cover up the gaping rust holes in the bed... I hear they actually cause rust, but OTOH they look at lot better than scratched up paint.
I have a crappy job because when push came to shove, I discovered that staying home was important enough to trump everything else. If it requires being subject to relocation, I won't do it unless I have absolutely no alternative. That rules out a *lot* of jobs these days. Like everything that pays money.
Dad's in the same boat, really. If the local company he works for goes under (and Wal-Mart competes with them, so you can see the writing on that wall), he's plenty qualified to take a similar job with any number of national chains (like Wal-Mart), but they'd all force him to be subject to random relocation.
Random relocation sucks. If I can't buy a house and live in it until I die, what's the point of working at all?
My grandpa bought his house in 1946.
Well EXCUSE me.... I have a Dodge 3500 Cummins 4x4 with shell, Rhino spray on line AND plastic bed liner insert. So there,,,blaaat. :-))))))))
Seriously I like the Rhino as a primary protector of the metal and as a pretty good sound deadener. The plastic type insert came as part of the purchase deal but it does move and there are holes for the bed tie downs. I was concerned that the plastic line would wear through the paint of the bed with said movement and, paid to have the Rhino sprayed in prior to installing the plastic. Now I am considering having the lower portion of the cab sprayed with the Rhino stuff and eliminate the carpet. Which is a pain in the arse to keep clean and dry in wet muddy weather and harbors damp which could start rust ( so far so good ) in the floor of the cab. Also the sound deadening aspect of the spray on stuff appeals to me. Tales of a Boatbuilder Apprentice
Thanks for posting that. Now I know what to do for my '87 F-150, that I have been unable to find a replacement floor liner for.
yippee.

I have the sprayed on Rhino liner, a rubber mat and the roll-up vinyl cover with the velcro side fasteners.
The spray on liner is way better than the plastic inserts because it doesn't allow moisture buildup between the liner and the bed, and it's got pretty good traction to it. Those plastic things are slippery.
The cover is great. The bed is always dry and clean.
