Re: Boy did it snow!
Got a lot of snow here in the Omaha, NE area yesterday. Funniest thing is that my daily driver is a Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner (Looks and sits just like a 4X4 but isn't one). I'm trying to get around and almost getting stuck here and there, and the funniest look is on people faces like they are thinking "Put that thing in 4X you idiot!"

Re: Boy did it snow!
We didn't get quite that much snow, but the wind is horrendous. 40+ MPH, and that's the gusts.

Re: Boy did it snow!
What a difference about 250 - 300 miles South makes.
Cold & windy here. 55 degrees yesterday, & about 35 now, with 35 mph wind. But sun is shining bright & NO SNOW. I hate snow. Be safe & stay warm. Last edited by 68shortstep; 12-09-2009 at 04:50 PM. |

Re: Boy did it snow!
The snow finally moved out of here yesterday afternoon, we only ended up with about 6'' but it's been cold here for a few days. It was -20 this morning.

I actually haven't had to drive my truck all week. My wife took her mom to the airport Sunday in her mom's car and has just been driving that all week, so I decided to drive the wife's car and leave my truck in the garage. It ended up getting a vacation at the right time! However in years past it has done just fine in the extreme cold.
