Default I can't belive it didn't make it!

Going to pick a friend up today I didn't realize how deep the snow was drifted in his drive way. We got about 10 inches of snow but the pictures tell you how deep this drift was. To get out we just did a little shoveling so the steps were buried in snow and with a little effort the truck did the rest.

The bumper plowed 6-8 inches of snow.

This wall before having a bit added on top was about 2 feet high. The exhaust melted a lot of snow in a hurry since it was buried when I first stopped.

Looks like you should have taken the sled instead. I love winter, but I am about done with snow.

I went to Texas at the end of Jan. Highs were in the 70s but lows were in the 30s and low 40s. We also got frozen in, while in Baton Rouge. We couldn't cross the river because every bridge had thick ice on them! It was nice for an Ohian to se 70* in the end of January.

Yea we got 8-10 inches and the wind was crazy. This snow was extremely wet and heavy but still blew around quite a bit as the pictures show. You can see the undercarage was dragging snow for about 50 feet.

Snow and cold are two of the major reasons I'm leaving Colorado to go back to Phoenix. There's some personal ones too, but damn it I hate the cold and snow. And the shitty roads and the fact that I can't have a clean vehicle for 7 months out of the year.
