All this winter weather...

And the old F100 really pulled through for me this evening! Sure traction wasn't all too great, but man that thing's easy to hold the road. Rather hard to cram 4 or 5 of your classmates into a regular cab truck, sometimes it really sucks being the only one prepared for winter driving. Oh well, cheers everybody!

Yeah, it snowed here yesterday evening. The thing is, it was in the 60's till mid afternoon yesterday.......
That's been it for winter weather, thus far.

Mine did pretty good too. I put a bunch of firewood at the back of my bed for more weight on the rear tires. Traction was no problem at all even on the packed down snow and ice.

The heater works so good that I have to pat myself on the back.

Winter here comes in cycles, some years it stays above freezing, some years there are blizzards and ice storms nonstop. I had no weight at all in the back of mine, and it didn't slip all over the road, just saw a few slick spots. The heater in mine will have you gasping for air after a while it gets so hot.
