Some snow pics

Nothing special. Had a pretty good snowfall in CT last night.

Some truck pics (87 2wd, sandbags in back for some traction, will never be great in the snow though )









Lulu, enjoying the snow:



Some of my toys, 40 year old John Deere tractor. Does a great job throwing the snow. 08 Suzuki rmz250, and a red snowthrower I picked up free out of someone's trash. Basically brand new, fixed the broken killswitch wire, runs excellent. Previous owner was obviously not mechanically inclined

Re: Some snow pics

Looks like a light dusting. 2wd with a posi should go ok provided you have decent tires. Some of my vehicles wont make it out of the driveway between the first snowfall and the last melt even with a posi. Doesnt bother me I wont drive them in the salt unless I have no other choice.

8" is a couple hours worth of lake effect, got about 10" of powder yesterday, the dogs love it today. Still need to plow the driveway so we dont pack it down.

Yes they do Mixture of sand and salt. I undercoated the truck in the rust prone areas. I've been driving it in New England winters for a couple years, plus the previous owner, seems to be ok as long as you attack areas that start to rust, before it rots.
