    Had to chain up in this crap today...

    Ended up plowing the alley with the front valence.





    ...even with chains and snow tires, I got high centered in one spot and boat anchored the rear leaving the alley. I had to jack the car up and clear the snow out from under it in those places. (Momentum doesn't work when there's a 3' drift in the middle of a sharp 90 degree turn, nor when you're blindly crossing a sidewalk and need to turn onto the street.)

    I heard the storm pounding the East coast is supposed to be one of the biggest in modern history.

        This one is insane. My parents (who have my truck since they really need it, while K and I live one block from a grocery store and two blocks from a whole strip of restaurants) tell me that they had over 30" of snow.

            I'm actually half wondering if I should have put the chains up front. With the open diff, I am very clearly three wheel drive in this crap.

                Clearly, you weren't plowing 18" of virgin snow with your valence. :) This is just too damned much snow up here.

                    Holy shit. That's the shit that was supposed to hit CT but isn't. That's a lot of snow.

                        and they're going to. This is a pretty disappointing winter and I'm not expecting for us to get a significant amount. I heard that we're supposed to get more than the mountains... which is believable since boarding has kinda sucked ass so far this season.
