MORE PICTURES! Snowstorm hitting right now...

Post by Cal_Gary »

Predictions for up to 2 feet here in the Wasatch mountains; 4-8 inches on the valley floor. I have my M37 at work this morning and will drive it to Tim's service later today.

Yep, I already have pictures-will snap some more and post them later.

So I took the M to Tim's service on Monday. My driver's side wiper motor died 1/2 mile into the trip so I had to stop every 5 miles to wipe it off, in the middle of the big storm. I was only 1 of 2 trucks in my neighborhood able to make it up the street since the road hadn't been plowed and there was 18 inches or so at the time. There were over 300 accidents and slide-offs this day alone-people were flagging me to and from the Service to pull them out but i kept rolling. Leaving the Service I had to throw a chain on my co-worker's minivan to free her-my first recovery mission so far. Sorry, no pictures of that one. Oh, they're predicting 3 to 5 FEET of snow where I am by the early part of next week.

Great pictures Gary, looks like the dogs were enjoying the winter wonder land.

Your neighbor sure has a nice 4 wheel drive TLB.

Thanks Bert! Yeah, the deeper the better for the dogs! Now I've got to consider my wiper options as once again I cannibalized Veronica's, moving the pass side motor over to my side so I can see....

Hope you and Cathy are doing well!

All is well Gary. We only have had only one 7" snowfall so far this year. The temperatures have been in the 40s to 50s with a light rain.

They're calling for another 8 to 16 inches overnight tonight-guaranteed White Christmas for us in Utah! Still snapping more pix and will get them posted over the next few days! :)

Great pictures Gary, the M looks right at home in the deep snow.

I spent all of yesterday logging in the yard..........we had 50+ MPH winds a couple of nights ago and it knocked 12' off the tops of several blue spruce trees. They snapped off at about 7.5' off the ground. Sure am glad the neighbor wanted all of the wood, it saved hours of chainsaw work.
