I'm not sure what we've gotten so far but it's a good bit. It was between 3 and 5 inches when I plowed at 5.

it seems to have stopped here in wallingford. i just finished shoveling and salting my parking spots and my landing. the mustang is unstoppable in the snow, i love it.

the lower radiator hose sucks to replace on the 6.0, i really thought it was going to be quick and easy. i flushed the system and converted to Zerex G-05 HOAT coolant, it was actually cheaper than the conventional by $3 per gallon.

G/f and I went down to the Q hockey game tonight. It was an interesting trip. I do enjoy driving in the snow, but not in bumper to bumper traffic. Had a couple semi's try to body me into the guard rail a couple times. Pulled the lever back down to 4hi and just plowed on through. Hopin to get the alignment done tomorrow.

I'm guessing 8-9" here. I gotta go out and clean up, then will report back with the actual amounts.

Hey Andy, not sure if I will be making it to the alignment shop today. Just about got stuck at mc'donald's this morning. Truck wouldn't start, or even turn the starter. After checking a few things, realized it probably wasn't quite in gear. Got it to start turning over, but wouldn't start. Pumped the gas a while with no progress. Then held the gas on while turning it over and it finally started. Meanwhile, the g/f was freaking out a bit. She doesn't like my tempermental old truck too much. She would like to see me get a newer one.

Sounds like you guys got more snow than we did in VT, only about 5 inches. Not even sure if I'm going to bother bringing my snowmobile outside

Hope you had a great Saturday CT. Central Vermont didn't get much 2-3" of fluff. Looks like we'll get screwed next week on that storm also.

I didn't measure again since last night but there wasn't much additional snow. Maybe a half inch tops.

News says another 1-4" coming tonight.
