Snow!

Snow!!! Everything is shut down here. Gov declared a state of emergency. National Guard has been called out. Former Pres Bush and Clinton have started fund raising for disaster relief.

Food supplies running low here. Almost completely out of cocktail peanuts and Cheetos. May have to resort to looting to feed family.

Have lured Dasher, Dancer, and Prancer into the backyard with remains of wife's garden. I plan to harness them to a sled and move further south.

Will report progress. Wish me luck.


Timothy

Lol got a chain going to start pulling these idiot out with my mountain bike.
Really? I mean really? This much snow shuts down a town? All the major roads? Wtf it was a parking lot this am....
Last winter we were in lubbock with 6-10" of snow and it wasn't this much panic... I'm not in my 4x4 I'm in a 2wd service truck not having any issues wtf.....
Sorry I'm irritated at this

I'm not. My truck didn't even make it out of the driveway today. Actually it didn't even start this morning.

Tomorrow I'll take the keys out of my pocket. I bet it starts better then.

Well for a "snow day" I'm debating switching to shorts. The day is getting better at least its warm.
Having a huge service bed on the back does settle it down though. I do normallu leave my race tune in the 6.0 in this weather and don't have to many issues. Most of the time I stay in 2wd probably 90% of the time in the snow. don't want to kill fuel economy plus it keeps the wife quiet and scared lol

I was running around in my econo tune and even after I added weight, it still was spinning the tires any time I touched the accelerator pedal. mines probably a bit more touchy having the handshaker though. Got to work with no issues today. They are saying the roads are going to freeze over again tonight so hopefully all goes well on the trek home tonight after work.

Everybody make it out of the blizzard of 2011?I took my toy out to play and ended up breaking a U-joint on the front axle and getting it stuck. Had fun doing it though! Time for the D60 upgrade.
