Default 10-20 Inches of Snow

I guess it's that time of year. We are expecting 10-20 inches of snow tomorrow into Monday. I know isn't much for some of you. I will be out and about due to my girlfriends family Christmas party, and seeing as we have two choices of vehicles to take, my impy, or her beetle, the impala will be out in the snow. Last year it was great when we got 40+ inches in a week. I want to see pics of your LS4 braving the snow.

4wd with a lowish gear, 4.10 in my case, does help you stop. I can slow without even being on the brakes. I just have to watch for idiots going too fast in the rear view.

Needless to say I'm down to 7 from 8 mpg in 4wd... too many powerslides in the snow, but they feel so good

We have a winter storm on the way tonight for the mountains of SoCal. We're supposed to see as much as two feet of snow between tonight and Wednesday morning. Kinda sucks because the Impala is still at my buddy's tranny shop, so I'll need to drive the Grand National if I want to get around, as my wife uses the 4x4 for her commute when the snow starts to fall.

I'll be sure to post pics...LOL.

This, and now the city is asking for donations because they are out of money for snow removal. lol I think it's time for the state to kick out some funds. It's not the responsibility of people that already paid taxes to donate more. I may have to snap some pics of the GXP later.

BigBlackBoxChevy I got through last years record snows in the Phila area in the Monte.
It does suprisingly well in the snow as long as you dont mash the gas and have decent tires.

This year I have a snow truck, I was out sunday playing taxi as a few people needed to get to places where their little econoboxes could not take'em.
The 3 foot snow drifts were no match for the Bronco.

ahhhh snow. Just a couple weeks back, Buffalo was getting hammered with 3+feet! It's funny, I live in Buffalo and work in Tonawanda (10 miles N of BLO). I had 3 feet at my house, when I went to work they still had green grass. Damn Lake effect...

Kinda sucks that I took a vacation day on a day when my company had a snow closure. Gotta get that one back.
