I remember when we had something just like this 3 years ago. 2 feet in one day with some nice drifting due to 50+ mph winds.

But nothing compares to the winter of '78-79. So much snow with such huge drifts that we were able to sled off the neighbor's roof. And some of the biggest and most kick *** snow forts ever. Even the Eskimos would have been jealous.

GL can't fit a 4x8 sheet, A sprinter would be horrible to actually drive, and a V class is a) not really available much and b) like 50k.

The T&C is all leather, fits a 4x8, has heated seats and steering wheel, and honestly will go anywhere I need to go.

If I lived in a farm house, or on a farm road, I might need a real 4x4.

So, apparently, after clearing snow this afternoon, closing the garage, and going inside, the door decided to go back up on it's own. Probably hit a pile of snow or some ish. So now the SL is covered in snow too.

My gf is all mad... the car the car the car the it's covered in snow.

I tried explaining that even though it's a super special car and all, it is still a CAR and water won't actually hurt it. She's not hearing a word of it. lol

lol, no not the ones in the pond. When I go fishing here I do and some of those I put in my pond. When I'm down in FL fishing, then I grill them up there at my home away from home.














Nice at night when the sun is going down and the grill is burnin and you can smell the food in the air.
