<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Bill Rose</div><div class="ubbcode-body">This is the worst snow storm I've ever seen, and I've seen many bad ones. I have 4 feet of snow in front of my workshop garage door. Spent 3 hrs with the snow blower and got 1/2 the driveway cleared. Now most of that has 8&quot; of snow on it AGAIN!. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I hope the snow blower hold up. I've been beating the crap out of it.

Bill, if you were closer you could use my snow blower.

Front door and driveway. That's a yard stick in the foreground. Front door at 25&quot;. Driveway at 35&quot; in the valley between drifts. The diesel Suburban was plugged in for the past couple days so it created a warm spot. The daughter's car wasn't.

I was born an raised in northern Wisconsin and remember the snow storms all to well -- that's just another reason I live in south Texas ... the attitude of folks down here is &quot;if our Lord put the snow here, he can take it away and its normally gone by 1000 hrs&quot;. Snow is just another four-letter-word!

You folks be SAFE back there -- the real challenge is when that crap begins to melt!! TAZ

The neighbor came by at 7:00 PM and was able to plow half the driveway with his brand new Dodge. There is so much snow, it is now a mountain 8 feet high and 25 feet deep. He got stuck once and I had to pull him out with my 21 year old Suburban. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] ...After I got him out, the four wheel drive stopped working in my truck. So I just ordered the new thermal actuator a few minutes ago. Picking it up tomorrow at the auto parts store. Hopefully that is a quick fix for a common problem with these trucks.

That would be the major thing that I DO NOT MISS about NJ. My folks live out by Mc Guire AFB and they had 6 foot snow drifts in the driveway and had to have a backhoe come dig out the 100 yard driveway. Stay warm, safe and dry

Picked up the new actuator this morning and installed it in 15 minutes. Yay, I have 4WD again! (after a few post-installation anxious moments before I realized that there was a blown &quot;4WD&quot; fuse under the dash. The bad actuator popped the fuse).
