OT: 22" of snow and counting
It's been a while since we've had such an accumulation of snow here. The forecast was for 12" to 18" as of this am, but has now been upped to 24" to 30". Good times! Might get the ecr out tomorrow or the next day. The snowmobiles are out and about so there may be some trails to follow.

Incredible storm here.
We are now around 30 inches and still pounding. When I got to my car after work, it was just a hump in the snow with the side mirror sticking out. Very fortunate I made it home. Subaru has a customer for life. Well, they already did, but today just confirmed it again. A Subaru with good snows is an absolute beast in the snow.

Just watched the entire local college cycling team blow through a stop sign while I walk my dog in a t-shirt, shorts and sandals. Winter will be over in 6 days!

I like these kind of big snow dumps, where you can just hunker down for a few days. Of course, I like them in january and february, not march. would rather be riding.

Moved the Expedition down to the street (basically unplowed - about 8-12" on it) to clear the snow off of it. My driveway is 21%, uphill going back up. Although I'd just cleared it there was still snow on it. No problems with the snows, in 2WD. With the Expedition I leave it in 2WD to give me a sanity check, i.e. if it doesn't accelerate with gusto then I'm probably traction limited when stopping or slowing.
Any AWD vehicle with snows is going to rock. Many 2WD vehicles with snows will rock, and they will stop and turn better than an AWD with all seasons.

Predicted 12-15" and we got maybe 6" of the heaviest, wettest glop!
When it freezes later it is going to be really bad But not as bad as you guys in upstate NY Be safe BK

We had the lights flicker a few times throughout the day, but luckily power stayed on. We got hit with crazy winds a couple weeks ago with lots of downed trees and lost power for a couple of days. I ended up buying a new generator, but I'd prefer not to have use it.

Dusty rider and Ken I envy your current weather conditions, but I do enjoy what the northeast has to offer.

It was even miserable riding here in Central Florida this AM. Mid 50's, high wind, no sun.....and most of us were dressed for it to warm up to a sunny 70 or so. So cold had to turn back and head home after 5 miles. Almost wished for snow....a real winter.
