    Those are great tires. Have them on 2 AWD Escapes (wife and daughter) and they're outstanding in snow/ice and perform and wear decent on dry.

    Neighbors exectuted on my snow fort idea. I added the American flag to piss off my "I holler about being a conservative, but am actually a pinko commie since I took my flag down" neighbor.



    My daughter and I built some sledding/swing mounds until about 11pm last night.

    Stop by Bowers Tactical tomorrow. There's plenty of parking as of noon today.

    Glad they aren't open on Mondays... I had to repair my plow's hydrolic system while parked in the middle (turn lane) of Yosemite this morning before I could finish up. Glad it wasn't broken during the storm because that would have really sucked.

    U joint on the truck didn't fail so there's that. Yay

    I need sleep.

    Tires are key.

    My wife's Ford Explorer was plowing 6" of snow in my street with the front bumper but still didn't have any trouble cause of the Blizzak tires. They're worth it. The all seasons never could cut it in the snow.

    My Ram SUCKS in the snow with standard OEM "All-terrains". But put some Hankook snows on it and it's so much easier in the snow.

    My RAM 3500 came with Firestone transforce tires, just about the most useless tire you could imagine. I replaced them at about 500 miles.

    The Falken A/T3W I put on did very well today. Much better than the junk BFG's I used to run.

    I run Blizzaks on my 2WD truck, after years of experience getting into places I couldn't get out of, the foibles of which I have documented here a few times over the years. After all, who needs 4WD when a 6 pack of Coors hung out the window will attract five guys in F350s with Miller Electric rigs on the back, fighting to pull you out? But since getting the Blizzaks and a limited slip differential, the snow has not proved much of an obstacle to me any more. I was zipping around today without any problems.

    I've got Ultragrips on my van and love them. A guy at Discount says that's what State Patrol uses on their Chargers.

    9 hours on the backhoe busting drifts. Lightly sunburned face. Wind packed drifts are hard, lots of scooping and stacking.
    14 . Always carry a change of underwear.
