Hey James, you did fix your front end traction parts right? And there is that switch on the dash, it should work now. :raspberry:

That is a lot of snow.

Yes yes,... it works fine. It wasn't just the rear that slid over... it was the whole truck... had to play it safe!

I woke up early today to let the new pup out to go to the bathroom, and there is a nice inch of fresh snow on the ground! I love the snow, I only wish we had more. I love my lift and tires! stupid hondas getting stuck in places I just cruise through.

:hijack: Still making it around without 4x4 but we only have maybe 6 inches. I did however have the wond toss the truck sideways at about 30 twice this morning with the nasty blowing snow over icey roads.

James...are you still getting more? My buddy has family in Eastern PA with 32 inches and its not done.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

I believe we are at about 36" on the ground right now... drifts much higher due to the 50mph gusts!

JD's in Maryland - have they shut off drivers as well?

Small world news: My best friend from high school is the State Highway Administrator for Maryland. Not much sleep for him lately, I bet.

Baltimore has enacted a "level 3" or something... if you're caught on the road, you could get arrested... or ticketed.

Yeaaah! Just started snowing here in Boston! Even tho me and everyone at worked all left work hours ago b/c we all thought it was starting earlier... haha nice lil' half day.

Also I heard that a couple states down in the Mid-Atlantic area cut the budget for snow removal to save some bucks. So now they are very unprepared...

LOL.... Only emergency personal on the road.... O wait police really aren't emergency personal so this is a good question... lol



Yes is has been snowing in mass for a bit but nothing like they are seeing just south of use.... (wish it would though) Need some 4x4 snow fun :)... Though if it was snowing like that here I would be stuck at the fire house so still wouldn't be able to go out and have fun... lol

If people want to drive, and have vehicles to go out in the weather at hand, they should be allowed to drive. //// those cop and the law that says you cant go out. What if you need food? Or are trying to get home? If you get stuck, it is ur own fault.

People need to be held more accountable for their decisions, especially since natural selection is no longer a factor in the human race thanks to gov services and advances in medicine that may save a lief, but does nothing to improve the quality aside from drugging someone up to numb the pain.

I agree with this.... Where would you be getting food though as in a state of emergency most stores are closed lol...

I wish I got more footage of that backhoe. I didn't realize he was off to the side of the screen. He was doing donuts while spinning his tires in between each bucket of snow he pushed into that pile. Kept going around in circles.
