massive snow storm

[eighteight325is]

I was just about to start a thread about missing driving my E30 and a possible link to seasonal depression when I saw this thread.

No pics, but the snow banks on either side of my driveway are nearly over the roof line of my full GMC Sierra. Bimmer is slumbering in the garage under a cover, though I just had to push it further out of the way to bring in the tractor to thaw because the carb is freezing up and it is running like ass. Spring feels a long way away.

spent like 5 hours shoveling snow, so stopping to take pictures was a welcome break.

this is a bad ass storm. but it's funny, i started this thread and is all we got was rain.

Not me, but not surprising. The plows launch snow half way up my driveway every day.

My driveway (post plowing)

man it looked great out there and you were moving it. I'd be scared to move that fast. What song was that playing btw?

totally... it rained here on tuesday night so it was a little wet on wed, but it made up for it by being 60+ degrees. I wore a tshirt.

I can hit 50 twice on the driveway even in the winter.

As for the music I don't know exactly, it's a mix: http://strubemixed.com/

Gotta pre-heat your intake air. Our tractor has a single piece intake/exhaust manifold. Provides enough heat so only the throat of the carb frosts up, as opposed to the whole thing icing. also keeps the twinned intake (4 exhaust ports, 2 intake ports) from crying.

I'm going to guess yours has a plastic intake?

Yes, it's reassembled now. I was plowing with it tonight. the block/frame/chassis was warm enough to have steam come off whenever the snow hit it.

i shoveled everything but this, so my roommate was forced to clear it away so he could get to work:

I used to Love snow. Now I hate it. I Plow for the NAval Station down here in Newport, ANd I also fix all the plows. This means about 48 hours STRAIT of work, with 3 hour naps every 8 hours.

The city plow guys love it. Hard hours, but they make BANK off the overtime.

Late to this thread and no E30's in the snow since they were both staying warm and safe in the garage, but I had a blast doin' donuts in my monster truck.

Oh, and this was on my way home just as the storm began on Tuesday afternoon. Good to go.
