Thanks buddy! I appreciate the offer. My son and his new wife are here from Greece and everyone is safe at home - except me.

I made it to Vegas and now my flight has been delayed out of here. It's looking bad for this home team.

Just started snowing lightly here 15 minutes ago. No wind yet, but I'm ready.

And anytime Don! You KNOW all you have to do is ask....if I can help, I will.

Well it is up to 26f here. Hard to tell how much more snow we got because it was blowing like it does in Wyoming. Not that much more on top of the snow but all the tracks and trails we cut(to the shop) are about filled up again.

I will get Steph to get some more pics

We've got a bunch of it everywhere and it now has frozen rain on top of it. All the roads are closed around me basicaly and I dont have chains... because we never get this crap!
This is the worst since 1957 they are saying for us.

Still snowing here, just got back from wally world, got some chains for the Lebaron since I have been driving it in this with 10 year old summer tires.
The Equinox, by golly is the best thing I have ever driven in the snow. I have driven a lot of crap in Upstate NY and had a bunch of cars, but with AWD, Traction Control, Stabilitrak and all season tires that thing doesn't spin one wheel.

The EQ did OK. We won't be out in it. We have about a foot of snow on the side streeets. I managed to get it up the Hill and on the road....then almost got it stuck going around the block LOL! The Traction control is a little to agressive on the six speed. it starts to bogg the engine down and you start to loose forward momentum, BAD when fighting to the top of a hill...like our driveway




Steph has new pics to upload. we spent a few hours cleaning up the drive way. Went to town and checked her new job place and on the way back once we climbed the hil we hit a blizzard..AGAIN! We had a solid two inches since we left and it is coming down hard!

Ok this **** isnt funny anymore, its snowing again down here and its that fine driven snow again. We're getting burried... 1 ft of snow on the ground and counting even in NE this would now be considered a storm. Time to hitch up the Newfy to a sleigh

I do but they aren't prepared for this stuff around here. 1 ft on the ground and one snow plow for the county ... LMAO! The kids havent been to school in a week and my guess is they'll just close it for the rest of the year.
Back home this is nothing but around here its a state emergency
If I had a 4wd it would be a different story I suppose but the 79z28 isnt going anywhere in this stuff and the Impala could use some new tires..LOL
We're snowed in !! I'm having a sale because of it to!
