    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    Not too bad here, 10 inches of snow and 14 degrees. I have a new plow on my Colorado I was dying to try out and it has been getting a workout. It works great, 7 foot Blizzard with automatic mount. I have been having a ball seeing this is my first plow. The only thing that sucks is that my driveway has two huge boulders at the end, one on each side. While backing up to get ready to push some snow, I smacked the drivers rear quarter into one of them. Smashed the bottom of the tail light and scratched and dented the panel...Oh well it's a truck.

    Got over a foot now... and more supposedly on the way.
    The temperatures don't bother me much, it's the not being able to go anywhere that's getting to me.

    I just don't get how some of you are saying your G8's can drive through this much snow. Mine isn't even lowered and just a) scrapes the bottom on the snow and b) spins the tires.. yeah i'm sure snow tires would help if there was maybe 6 inches or less on the roads etc but I just don't see it happening with a foot or more. The car just sinks in it. Oh then to top it off the county did NOT sand the main roads or anything outside my development.. they just put a 'road closed' sign and that was it! Gotta love living out in the middle of nowhere..

    I'll probably be stuck till the new year! Good thing we stocked up on supplies.

    MY G8 is eating this snow UP! I drove right up my driveway and it has 6" drifts in it! I LOVE THIS CAR! No weight in the trunk and Blizzaks all around is the ONLY way to go!

    My 4X4 hasn't seen the snow yet this year!
