The Big One.......2ft of Snow

[WahooSteeler]

I know for you boys in the Northeast, Colorado, Washington etc, 2ft is a more common occurrence. But its probably been well over 20yrs since VA got over 2ft (maybe exaggerated, but even here in the Shenandoah Valley that's a lot), even though we get pretty regular snowfall every year. I think once in the 4yrs I was in Pittsburgh we got this much snow.

 

I went by the office to see if the crews were out clearing snow in the shopping center we manage. I got a scoop of snow from one of the loaders to give me some weight for traction. A little more than I wanted, but the MT springs seemed to not have a problem with it. :brows:

 

In the second picture, that's my car under there.

OMG! that much snow would literally destroy life as ppl know it here in SE Indiana,

 

I am jealous though that looks like fun, for a day or two, prolly loses the fun factor rather quickly haha

[Frankdm83]

Only got about 7 or 8 here in Central PA, pretty normal for us.

[SuperWade2]

DUDE, that's an awesome amount of snow... that looks like fun!!! it was 70 here today, I wore shorts...

 

/I'm just sayin'

[jtdesigns]

We got around 3 inches here,,, that would of been fun to get that much man!

[ComancheKid45]

We got over a foot here, I managed 2 get stuck and had 2 get winched outta a hole, lol also the Quads were fun till they just wouldent push snow no more, fun day!

[jeepcoma]

What snow? Went for a nice midnight drive :D

 

[HOrnbrod]

We didn't get any, even though it was forecasted. Just a lot of useless cold slightly above freezing rain. That sucks........

[Pete M]

we got like a half inch. enough to make things slick, not enough to have any fun. :fs1:

[DJM/78]

Wow ,looks fun!! I bet your truck gets good traction with all that weight. :popcorn:

They actually got it right for once for us. They had said 1-2, changed it to 1-3, then back to 1-2. We got just over 1".

 

Next week I'll be smack dab in the middle of the Lake Huron snow belt for a week. That usually give me my fill of snow for the season.

[freakjeep93]

[mjeff87]

I was wondering if you were gonna check in Greg :cheers:

 

We got about a foot here in the local Richmond area. Had our local Jeep club's annual Christmas party last night.......we had some fun.

It's always great to see other places get a little too much snow at once :D

 

Kind of take the bad wrap off the Buffalo area :teehee:

 

I know your not use to it, but........after some time, you'll enjoy it :yes:

 

That's if your back holds out from all the shoveling.

We have had over 2 ft here in the past few weeks. The local lake that the town is built on freezes over and become a winter playground for all. Lots of snow to play in out there. :D

[whowey]

We didn't get anything... about 1/2 an inch on Friday.. but that only stuck to the non-paved areas that already had a bunch of snow.

We were heading north on 77 up through virginia, and WV during this storm and got stuck on the WV turnpike for 5 hours without moving. When we were moving we were dodging abandoned cars in the middle of the freeway that had been plowed around! An entirely dangerous situation. We started looking for a hotel and heard that every one was booked because of it, but we remembered the Hawks Nest State Park in Ansted, WV, called them and they still had rooms! (only because nobody knows they are there!) and we are now here for the second day waiting on the roads north to get cleared. We are first heading to mvusse's neck of the woods near Canton, OH, then up to Michigan to swing through Pete's neighborhood, and then back... that is if we ever get there! Hopefully WV will have thier she-ite together by tommorow. Wish us luck, just wish I could enjoy the snow in this area instead of having to dread it.

Weather channel had a lady on the phone that got stuck in traffic there Friday afternoon around 4pm trying to get home in SC from Medina (Cleveland), OH. Finally got moving again 2pm Saturday afternoon, having lived on water and chips she shared with her dog for 22 hours. They called her back around 6pm and she was like 25 miles from home then.

First time I've owned BFG A/Ts and was very impressed. Seemed ok in some of the slush today, we'll see for sure in the next couple of weeks as it all turns to crap. But like you said, they took me wherever I wanted yesterday when it was already over 18" of the fresh stuff.
