A 44 and a few good chains and we made enough cash pulling cars out of the snow for the weekend beer and entertainment. Today Im just glad to be home and off the roads when it gets like that. Im enjoying some sunshine for the first time this year without any winds to speak of so all our fluffy "flour like" snow is starting to get a crust on it and tighten up which will help to prevent what we have from drifting. Unfortunately it will provide a slick surface for any more snow we get to blow right across and fall into our clean driveways!

Lord, ain't that the truth? My first 4x4 was a '74 Chevy I got new my junior year in high school. Since then I've had 4 other trucks, (3 Chevys and now a Dodge) all 4x4's. Most winters around here the extra traction is over-kill, but a winter like this, it's pretty near a necessity. On more than one occasion we set out to make a mint but ended up being good Samaritans instead. I can honestly say that over the years the good ol' 4x4's haven't kept me out of the ditch, but they have gotten me out of the ditch a time or three. :) 15:00 CST KOFF NE Temperature: 3 Â°F (-16 Â°C) Humidity: 67 % Wind Speed: NW 20 G 29 MPH Barometer: 30.38" (1031.4 mb) Dewpoint: -5 Â°F (-21 Â°C) Wind Chill: -18 Â°F (-28 Â°C) Visibility: 5.00 mi.

Just got in from shovelling about 2 inches (5 cm) out of the drive. The weather guy says it's not lake effect squalls anymore, just a front passing through. Is that supposed to make me feel better?
