Come on SNOW!!

It's just basically rain in NE Charlotte/Harrisburg. I just got off work. Wasn't any worse than a rainy day. Maybe some of it will turn to ice by morning but I doubt it, it's not cold enough.
 
Final count comes in around 12 inches.
Amazingly, My Toyota Tercel 4x4 wagon will still traverse up to 12 inches of fresh snow, in untouched fields, without stopping! lol It packs snow up under the hood though, and you have to dig it out with a stick.:driver:
 
there is a major PITA spot right below my place where everyone is getting stuck. the road goes up a hill and is banked like Daytona! The Stokes Co. Fire Marshal got stuck there in his Ford Explorer. A big green dodge truck was trying to pull him out but he kept sliding down the hill. I tried to go around them and I got past the marshal when I got stuck. lol. so the dodge straps to me and we go for a 1/4 mile down the road (me still in the shoulder) spinnin' and throwing rooster tails all over, barely missing a row of pines and a barn, till I finally got back on track. the we doubled up with me on the high side and got the fire marshal out. man this has been one hell of a morning. haha, Im going back down there to watch other ppl go through it after some lunch. :D
 
Nobody had chains?
 
We have 8"+ sitting on our front walkway and it's accumulating fast

NWS says we should get an inch an hour until 6 pm, at that rate it'll easily top a foot.

Meanwhile - the MD Creepers Christmas party is down south of Baltimore, so a load of us are off for a fun ride down...
 
Who was running around Maiden and East Maiden Rd Friday night? I saw a couple of jeeps that are prob owned by someone on here.
 
I was about as unlucky as it gets. I was going to drive to Maine on Monday for the Holidays. Well plans changed and I decided to leave Friday morning. Got on the road about 4am. By 5am, I had text messages from friends going to work showing me pictures of how hard it was starting to snow. I first though it wasn't going to last long, then as the day went on, I got more and more pictures sent to me and it was unbelievable! I missed one of the biggest snow storms! But anyways, my mom sent me a few pictures from her house of my winter Jeep and my brother's Jeep behind it.
