I have actually witnessed someone killing lizards on a golf course to eat later that day.  I swear they gotta taste like chicken.  Better than venison anyway.

How big are these critters?

Got about 8-12 inches in the past 24 hours.

I will not go gentle into that good night.

The main show hasn’t started yet. It’s just been snowing steady for the past 24 hours and is going to continue for the next 48. The wind is about to pick up though and so will the rate of snowfall.

No way they're better than venison. Few things are.

I've never eaten Iguana, but have had gator many times. I imagine they're similar being reptiles and all. Gator does taste mostly like chicken, but often a hint of a fishy taste. Not much, just enough to remind me that it isn't chicken.

The gator I had was too chewy, venison depends on where, my neighbor claims the corn-fed version around us is great, and the processing, as if it isn't processed quickly, it has issues.

Gator is a little more chewy than chicken, but usually not too bad. Usually if places have them they have them as small pieces like nuggets. I think that makes them less chewy, because the chewiest I remember having were larger Gator strips.

There's a place nearby called Gator Jakes. The only gator they serve is small bits heavily coated in bread crumbs and deep fried. Hard to tell if there's any gator at all.

Have grilled gator. It's not bad. Not at all fishy and actually reminds of chicken.

Hard to tell in my East Lansing ghetto. Based on what I saw last night before I went to bed, I'm figuring 4-5".

The wind is howling, though. Gonna have more coffee, then go shovel.

Damn. All four of my truck doors are frozen. Shot locks work but when I pull the handle doors are solidly stuck. I drove home in the rain last night. Parked my car in the driveway.

Thoughts? I’m going to remote start it to see if that helps and let it run for 15-20 minutes, but I never put the temperature in my car over 70°

Pour warm water along the opening between the door and the door frame all around the door.  Most likely the rain has frozen the door seal to the door frame.

Just finished shoveling the parents driveway here in Grand Rapids. It is the best looking one in the neighborhood for the next few hours. It is a really fine powder snow here and I am not sure how much is falling in comparison to blowing in from somewhere else. It being 5° or so, I am not sure how much more will snow.

Build an insulated garage over your truck. Once you’ve finished, give it 4-8 hours and those doors will open easy peazy. You’re welcome.

Should amend my advice about warm water. If outside temp is too low, -10 or so, might make things worse.

NOC to Detroit area weather update. Roads were not too bad this morning. 2ish lanes open on 75 & 94. Average speed 35-55. Some areas were slick. Windy as fuck. Flight taking off soon.
