Big Snow, maybe

I took my kia sportage with nokian wrg4's and had no issues driving on the side streets all the main roads were cleared. We probly got around 20in here in wellington, it's hard to tell we had 40mph winds. 4ft snow drifts aginst my garage were awesome to shovel.

Made a snowman with my kid today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Agreed on having a good set of snow tires. I used to be skeptical about having to change tires but had a set of Blizzaks on my RWD fun car and got caught up in an early snow storm. I was maneuvering like the streets were dry even as I passed cars and trucks that were already in the median, against poles/trees, or crashed into each other. Even had a 4WD try to maneuver around outside of me as we were both turning right (he probably thought I'd get stuck) and watched him drift out of control into the median as I completed my turn.

As the Monkees sang, I'm a believer.
