My 16 yr old wanted to drive around a bit. It was fun to make her do all the snow removal while I sat inside where it’s warm.

Took the Comanche for a ride in the snow

Ive got to head over to moms tomorrow and plow. Hoping maybe the backpack blower can do it all at the garages and concrete. Never experience this kinda snow at all (never skied in Colorado )

I tried my backpack blower. It lasted maybe 5 minutes, then wasn't running right. I think the carb might have frozen up.

Got about 4-5 inches and it's still coming. Supposed to be double that by morning. No plans to shovel, blow or move any of it. What am I missing? Been out in it off and on with the kids

Living along the I-95 corridor right now is like hanging out with unmarried guys and being married. All your friends are getting some and you aren't.

We got 7''-9" easy here in Mint Hill/ Matthews. I scraped parking lots all day and when I finished one area and moved to the next there would be another couple inches on it pretty quick.

The leaf blower worked well at clearing my 1/10-mile gravel drive. We had seven inches, it is old school sthil back pack. The neighbor kid stopped in the road to take pics. I waved at him while he succeeded in putting his 4x4 bling-rim Chevy in the ditch, being dumb.

Made the mistake of sending pictures to the boss when I went by work to check things out. Guess he'll expect me there again this Monday too...

11" at 6pm in Concord

100+ vehicles stranded in snow after crash on I-85 in Cabarrus County

The vehicles were stopped due to a crash Saturday afternoon.

Went to the grocery store and dang if I didn't see the National Guard there playing in the parking lot. Fella's actin a fool with yall's tax dollars, but what can you do? Also saw those same, ahem, guys helping to pull out an ambulance. It took a backhoe to do most of the work, the HMMWV wasn't any help (it would literally break traction on all 4 tires at idle) except to keep the front end from sliding down the hill.

Got home from work to this.

Still coming down. The commute in the am should be a joy.

Daylight pics around 4pm, 10-11” here as of 7pm. Seems to have eased up now.

Took less than a minute to clear off the XJ with the battery blower.

But I left the mattress on top haha

Took the mini bike out for a rip.

Snowed all day.

As cool as the HMMWV is it’s a proper shit show in the snow. I’ve driven them in all sorts of environments and snow is where it falls on its face. It’s not the vehicle it’s the tires 100%

 

[skyhighZJ]

Also: WTF!! I retired from the army and chose not to go back to northern Michigan cause the weather here was supposed to be “middle of the road. Warm in the summer, cool in the “winter”. Y’all need to get this shit under control. Lmao!!!

This one has MTR's on it. Driving it did just fine, but I'd still rather drive the wife's expedition. Better heat, wipers, and snow not blowing in my face from the hole in the roof.

Even with the MTR’s the compounds are too hard and a lack of siping makes them a shit tire for the snow.

Molly went for a rip too.

Over 15" at the house and still coming down, nuts!
