Oh ya.... you know the snow is deep when......

Your WS6 is stuck in a snow bank.... and it's parked INSIDE your garage!!! I plowed the driveway and left the door open the whole time, when I came in to get the snow blower I found my car covered with snow front to back!!!!!!

On a side note... I bought my ATV 2 years ago, the wife gave me a little bit of crap about it so I told her the reason I was getting it is because it came with a snow plow free... she didn't buy the story but I have to say... that thing rocks!!!! I plowed my entire driveway with it!!! When I drove it through the crap at the front of the driveway where the town plows filled it in the front of the ATV was under the snow it was so deep but the little sucker went right through it!!!!

Yep, same situation here!
I brought my WS6 to my pals body shop last week for some touch up work where it sits safely tucked away from the elements.

Now as for my other cars, well take a look at the attachments.

Ok, that has us beat!

I made of taking my mistake of taking my Sierra HD to my brother-in-laws last night (truck isn't lifted). I spend the night and had a VERY interesting ride this morning. Didn't want to be trapped there all day so I decided to make a run to the shop. It wasn't to bad for awhile. The front of the truck was plowing some of the snow on the road but I tried to keep to 35-40 MPH. Then I was on some roads that run between some big fields so there were alot of drifts. Didn't think I was going to make it but I go through there. I then went down some roads that had drifts on the side that were higher than the truck Kept going down Horseneck Rd in Dartmouth when I came into some heavy drifts in the road. Powered through until snow piled onto the windshield and I had to let out of it. The truck then sank into a drift. Took me about 30 minutes of digging and someone with a snow blower to get the truck moving again. I then went around a road that I knew would be buried an made it to Horseneck Rd in Westport. It was a total white out! I just sat there thinking "should I do this?". The road was another run between two fields. I went for it and didn't have much of a problem. Just bounced off some of the drifts but keep my speed so I didn't get stuck.

What did all of this get me? No much at first! I couldn't go down the shop's driveway because there was close to 2 feet of now piled and then much high drifts. That stretch is about 500 ft long so I didn't want to walk it. Tried to goto the beach cottage that I'm staying in while my house is being built but that street was snowed in too. I then saw a guy in a front loader that dug out the shop's driveway. Luckily the smallest drift against the building was at the door. Some are 7+ ft high at the end of the building. The rest of the area in front of the building was clearn (thank God!). I'll probably just spend the night here

Poor kitty

Took a ride by my house to see how much snow is there. Glad I don't have to shovel this --->



All this white stuff also means that they won't be working for a few days

You guys have no idea.

Picture snow up to the top of your drivers window and picture that 15 feet out to the street.

There's a street where cars park horizontally, you should of seen it, snow half way up to the back window and it was so deep. Picture the car, then like 3 other cars bumper to bumper behind it. Some of those people are gonna shovel for at least 3-4 hours just to get the car out or wait 2 weeks for some of it to melt. Funny thing is, the people who dig their cars out first cant put the snow anywhere expect on the car next to them so whoever is first makes the other persons job 25% harder.

It sucks that some people are gonna be digging out 30+ feet of 4 foot high snow. Man.

The city towed all the cars where I normally park and ran tractors through there tons of times. I can see the cement and I didn't have to shovel at all.
