How much are you guys getting? I think we have about 6 inches right now on the North side but I have not ventured outside yet.

We got hit pretty good last night with ice and then 4-6" of snow. As soon as I got done snow blowing this morning, another dusting hit us.


Not the best way to start a Saturday...

Looks like the N'side got 8-10 inches, I'll measure when I go out and touch up the shoveling.

Driving back from Mundelein yesterday at 1am it was getting pretty sporty. Then turned into a parking lot and tested out the AWD's ability to do donuts. I am pleased to say the least.

Driving sideways is awesome with AWD. So happy I didn't get the 2WD version now (sorry John and Sean).

yeh...a smaller one would work. I had a old school huge thing before, but never used it since I kept it in the shed due to the size. I need something smaller for the garage.

maybe I should call you
