I drove my Yukon this morning, and unfortunately, because of a slight mismatch in tire size, it made the rear end squirrelly in 4WD, but then later, in the heavy stuff, I took out my '72 3/4 Ton 4WD Chevy... it was wonderful I was hoping to be driving my red Brat, as I just got the door to be able to latch, but when I went to jump start it, I popped something in the cab. smoke come rolling out of the dash.... so now it's sitting dead again.....

mcbrat Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 and I've got about 12" of snow at my house now, and the storm looks about 2/3 past me, so maybe another 6 more??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quidam Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hey Dude, It's raining here now, probably tommorrow too. We've had a really mild winter here, so far. Not even 20 degrees at night until recently. My anti-freeze is good for 12 degrees. This friday night it's projected to be 9 degrees:eek:. I had a water pump seal seeping this summer, did some stuff to it and now it doesn't. That anti/freeze costs twelve bucks a gallon. Yeow.

Quidam Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 "Its starting to hit us now! I want to go and play in it! Mom doesn't think its wise :(" I go out here when it's level 3 "roads closed" type of stuff. The cops who are out there see it's an old Subaru and don't give a hoot:lol: You don't even see many or any of those. They have Crown Vics LMAO People say, "you're going to get arrested". By who?

TomRhere Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Drizzle rain this morning has turned what snow we did get into slush. Hard to tell what we did get amount wise. I know the wind was kicking pretty good lastnight when I was climbing into bed. Nieghbor's pine trees were singing pretty good. Sortta calm out right now. So much for the "Major Winter Storm" they we ranting about yesterday.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyewdall Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hmmm. We've only got about 6 inches of snow here, but it did to -3F last night (quite a bit colder than that down in town, I hear, but the inversion and the wind kept it "warmer" up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
