Snowing in Ohio!
The snow is coming down like there is no tomorrow here in west/central Ohio and finally got a chance to put the 350 in 4WD. Everyone is slipin' and slidin' and I'm just cruising on by. I've got tow straps/chains and a winch in case I can get anybody out of the ditch (hopefully it won't be a self rescue). Supposed to get about 4 today and as much as 10+ tonight. This next 36 hours might be very interesting. Everyone be careful out there!
By the way...has anyone noticed that when you are ready to leave the house and you've got a stick shift in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other you can let the emergency brake off with your right foot? Kind of found that out by accident (or necessity).

Maxim, We've got a good 4-5'' on the ground....I can see I'm going to be snow blowing most of the evening. I've got a bunch of widows in my neighborhood and I keep their walks/driveways clear. They watch my place and keep me in cookies/pies/cakes most of the summer. A good trade!
Everyone be safe.

Jaybe,
We camped in Bellefontaine two years ago, Nice town. My wife has family in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
ffice:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Findlay</st1lace></st1:City> any they too are going to get pounded. Any how here in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Wellington</st1lace></st1:City> we are on the border of the snow/rain mix. I am hoping the temps stay cold so get to 4WD in the snow after work. Happy snow throwing.

I live 3 miles south of Michigan City , Indiana . We just had a 26 inch lake effect snow fall on this past Sunday . We are now under a lake effect snow warning until Thursday afternoon . Anywhere from 8 - 15 more inches is suppose to come . I like snow , however this is a bit much . Glad I got the beast though . I can still go anywhere .

wildcat421: Starting to sound like here. Had 5 feet last week then it rained for 3 days now we are back to 18" per day. Makes the snowmaching fun but tired of having to snowblow every 5-6 hrs.
Back to the original post. Yep gota love the capabilities and more inportant the ground clearance. My wife has a subura forester. Great AWD car in the winter except when the snow is over 10" inches. That's when the truck's make it down the highway and the little SUV's have problems.
Enjoy the white stuff.
