    Wonder if there will be a lot of ice dam issues this week. Depends on if it gets to freezing every night or not.

    I don't remember when, but there was that monster snow storm with killer winds....it seemed like the town was closed up tight; no driving allowed and there was a call out for folks who owned real Hummers to drive doctors to the hospital. Depending on location and size of the drifts; some folks at work were snowed in for a good week or two. Those folks were living out in the 'sticks' and had a drive way that ran more than a few acres before hitting a dirt road.

    I think I was snowed in Fri night and it was late Tue before I could get out.

    This storm for me was a slush storm; nasty but short lived.

    I have an appointment to take my RZR to TFOGGER tomorrow, but I just looked and there is a waist high drift on each side of my trailer and the RZR is full of snow to the top of the doors. This should be fun.
    If you want to pend it for a few days, that would be fine with me. They're just plowing the lot now...

    I'm actually a little worried about that. I've got cornices hanging off my roof in more than one spot. I've been trying to knock down what I can reach.

    Just try not to dent your gutters in the process.

    Weather Channel app (which was spot-on in its predictions of 10 - 20" from this last storm) says less than an inch.

    Well. That was interesting. About 18? drifted in front of my driveway. My neighbors had 12. So I tried to get the truck out and forgot to get it into 4 hi. Well it was fun learning the following: How to recover a car, my burb without lockers is prone to getting stuck, 12? snow is the most that my truck likes to roll over. Also need to figure out better recovery ramps and it?s time to get new duratracs or ko2s.

    Tires make a world of difference. My company truck is a Ford and probably has a better 4WD system than my personal truck (Dodge) but even with everything locked in the Ford struggled this morning with its unassuming tires where the Dodge with its all-terrains had no problem plowing through knee deep snow.
