We keep going from snow to sleet to rain and back.

It just keeps building up layers of ice. We do not have too much snow here but the ice is awesomely slippery.

Everyone who has tried to go around the corner by my house at more than a few MPH has spun around. 

We did some last minute shopping on the 24th and coming home on the freeway at 65 mph it was OK till the rain started to freeze and about a mile out from my exit and the last 2 miles to my house it was wet ice! Had to slow to 20 mph and the wind was SCREAMING out of the east. It would blow the vehicle sideways! FUN!

Not the slickest I have ever drove on but close!

Finally got my truck in the driveway, then they came along and plowed me in. 9: fxxk, I think I'm gonna test out my new trailer.  See if I can borrow somebody's skid loader...  My piles are as tall as I am and I'm runnin out of places to put it.

i barely made it home this morning. its so deep.. all the town was covered in more than 3 ft of drifts.. plows werent out yet so people with trucks were trying to cut paths.  insane. finally stopped blowing and snowing. now clean up time.   

few years back i visited albuquerque (after i had lived there)  and they had the worst snow storm in however many years..we just made it out before they closed the interstates. it was crazy too.




oh btw..  8ft drifts out in my area entrance...  bullshit..

Post by: SPEC on January 04, 2010, 03:23:39 PM
Ya ...
It's funny how when it's new...you count the hours on it ;D
I let it idle in the driveway for an hour today while I was moving trailers and boxes around...Instead of shutting it off and get cold...Crap when I was a kid we used to let the Big skidder run for weeks at a time when it was this cold out...Only shut it off to check the oil then fire it back up right away...
Cuz back then when that fooker wouldn't start...You had to build a fire under it and heat the motor thru 2" of steel skid plates with out starting the fooking machine on fire ;D
