Lol last time we got this much snow was 2009..... seeing how we do not salt our roads and not enough equipment to deal with it. This little bit will shut down a lot. Also we install a lot of metal roofing and no one in my company wants to sled most of the day. It will be gone by Sunday so no work for us.

Everything is relative.
In North Dakota, we wear Coats, while they run around in hoodies.
Florida, we wear T-shirts, while they wear Coats.

When it's 15°F out and tires need air... you break out the air hose and hook it.

Still trying to find time to install my twin arb compressor and tank. Going in my bed tool box it will be nice to have on board air.

Western Oregon is almost bi-polar weather. I've seen it winter 17degs at night and 60deg during the day. Summer we can go from 90s to high 60s. We get some sort of snow or freezing rain every year but it last about 1-2weeks tops. Then it just rains 75% of the time during the winter. You can go from the beach to snow top mountains to high desert all in 1 day.

County here does not have a plow or dirt truck (spreader,). So when we get a lot of snow, like 8" in 2021, STATE shuts down. Only TXDOT around here has any snow equipment, and they were using road graders to plow road in 2021, hee hee.

Had Fun !!!

The Roof

6 months old? 4500 miles?
Don't buy my Used Trucks.

.
This was not intentional.
Just went to check on a fishing pond, had not fished it, in decades,
because it's so far from home.
Was driving my Wife around, to quilting stores, the pond happened to be nearby,
so thought I'd check it out, never gave a thought about the prior nights downpour.

Thought I was finally going to use my AAA but truck got me home again.

I got stuck in a serious blizzard a year ago with mine. It was so bad they closed the highway right in front of me.
I had a choice of trying to sleep overnight, in the truck, in a blizzard, or go around thru some rural routes. I chose the latter.

The rural routes were mud, slush and ice, with snow blowing 50mph sideways. It was so bad I knew if I stopped or tried to turn around, I'd be stuck and in worse shape trying to stay warm overnight. So I trucked on. My truck made it thru all that and finally to a small town where I found room in a hotel to weather things out.

Point is, the 4wd in the trucks works really well (within reason).

i waa actually impressed with teh Bridgestone tires that I've been burning up, all over town, so I could get my Severe Snow rated tires.
Might have to stop laying down twin stripes of Mopar Power, everywhere.

NAW, IT'S TO MUCH FUN DOING IT.

Added a glass screen protector to uconnect screen. It has a matte finish so does a good job cutting down the glare and minimizing fingerprints.

Also, did a quick wash to spray off all the road salt after a day of snow and sleet. Tough to keep it clean this time of year in the Northeast but at least Spring is around the corner.

I picked up half a pallet of sod.

NJ4X4 · Mar 6, 2023

I did my first oil change yesterday. No fun messing with the filter.

Stavinksi · Mar 7, 2023

I managed to deliver myself a stump bucket for my front loader from the fab shop today. I know, go me. Using a truck as a truck. What really amazed me was I did it without adding asymmetrical styling elements to my truck.

gofishn · Mar 11, 2023

Picked up this, just in case I ever need it , item.
Will go nicely with the Snatch/Yank Strap I bought last Fall.

gofishn · Mar 11, 2023

Got set of Tuftruck 1211 springs, with Isolators. Son-in-law will be putting them on, for me.

New Husky Front Floor Liners

Stock Mats

New Liners - much better coverage and a perfect fit. Also like that the X-Act Contours are more of a flexible rubber material and less of the stiff plastic feel

New fogs just came in :emotions33:
