Snow, what snow!
Below is a picture of my truck as it sits outside right now at -25. I haven't driven it much in the last month, probably not at all in the last month.
It is a sense of accomplishment as it sat out last winter but was not ready to be driven. This past summer I was able to get it on the road and drive it. Just thought I would share......

Re: Snow, what snow!
Why for you sprinkle that white stuff on your truck?
![]() I like seeing pictures of the stuff, but I don't miss living in it anymore. And I sure as heck do NOT like -25. (F or C) Here is a nice December day as it should be. ![]()

Re: Snow, what snow!
-25 C, it really isn't that cold yet. The kids were out sliding and playing on the back yard rink for a couple of hours.
Snowmobiling is a wonderful sport. I purchased a new 08 Skidoo Renegade a couple of weeks ago. It is still sitting at the dealer awaiting assembly.

Re: Snow, what snow!
I miss the snow. We dont get squat here(SoCal) it sucks. Probably a good thing though, when anything but sunshine hits the people get really STUPID!

Re: Snow, what snow!
I wish we got that much here!Once every few years we get a 8" + snow.There's only been about 2" here so far..Shown below was just a dusting we got.Of course I'd rather it be 70 and cruising in the Blazer (shown below) with the top popped off it

Re: Snow, what snow!
I've got about 12" of the stuff in my yard. I think we are in for it this winter. good thing I have 2 snow blowers.
bad thing is I need to clear the snow off the yard next to the driveway so I can get the next drop taken care of. I have about 2000 square feet of drive way and 1000 square of grass area to put it. Jan 1 will welcome me with -6*F in the morning. I think I may go visit Krue or Palf70 for a few months. |
