Snow, what snow! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

northerngmc · 01-01-2008, 01:07 PM

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......

**WorkinLonghorn** · 01-01-2008, 01:23 PM

Nice Pic,Thanks.
I think we got about 1/2" of that stuff here once.Been so long I can't remember though.

Sinister · 01-01-2008, 01:44 PM

That freaks me out, seeing these trucks covered in snow...

**Palf70Step** · 01-01-2008, 02:14 PM

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.

retodd7711 · 01-01-2008, 02:15 PM

BRRR! 25 below, at 25 above we close school and bring the animals inside.

19stepSide72 · 01-01-2008, 02:20 PM

had a bunch of that this week to here in california but melted the next day. still see some in the mountains across the river though.

72BlckButy · 01-01-2008, 02:51 PM

We finally missed a weekend filled with snow and ice.... thank God!!!

Better with a nice coating of snow than a dose of rocks and salt

chevy one · 01-01-2008, 03:44 PM

Looks like home to me, although I can live without the -25. It's been in the singles low of 5 so far. Kaycee don't have to much fun and stay safe an warm

. Happy New Year

red71cheyenne · 01-01-2008, 04:10 PM

Kaycee, where is that at? In WY?

Looks great!! We had flurries here yesterday and today. About freaked all the Japanese out!

kaycee · 01-01-2008, 04:33 PM

I live 50miles North of Cheyenne I will try and get some more pics Mon.I have to get through a freaking huge one tommarrow may have to call the re-inforcements in on it though.It hasn't been above 25 here for over a week plus we had 50&60 mph wind for the last 2 days.

northerngmc · 01-01-2008, 04:52 PM

-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.

manimal · 01-01-2008, 06:01 PM

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!

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

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.

1969K10 · 01-02-2008, 03:12 AM

Hey 69step, what'd you do, drive a moat to hold water around your Christmas tree there! - LOL!

**special-K** · 01-02-2008, 03:45 AM

We had some a month ago...

No,but it was fun sliding around it...Except for the ditch hidden in there.It got a little bouncy then

I've got a video of it,but I'm too lazy to upload it to youtube...
Hey Tim,I like the 71 better as a stepside.Now send me the fleetside panels to put on my GMC

**special-K** · 01-02-2008, 05:56 AM

That`s a tool & stowage bedside laying there.The truck will look better in one color (and done).We had 6" in that snowfall,all powder.
