mullet man

so how many people have you pulled out? LOL

we got hit with about 10inches so far, suppose to get 4-5more ending around midnight tonite.

so far i have pulled out a 2wd Dodge Dakota and a 2wd Jeep Wrangler (didnt know people actually bought those)
also helped push 3 cars out. didnt wanna tow and rip there bumper covers off lol

then i almost got stuck going thru a 3-4ft snow bank that the plows left across a side street. 4 low and a little momentum got me thru that.

i love this little truck

That all you got?
I was in Colorado and learned one thing:
If you get stuck, you're screwed. The departmet of transportation guys don't give a turd and the locals think it's funny... Leave it to guys from TX to stop and lend a hand.

This was a photo taken in Kansas on the way to Colorado. State was declared a disaster area.
Going off the road here means they call out the National guard:

we dont get it like that (not for many years anyway)

i know about Colorado, i lived there for a year. it can get ugly.
i also spent ~3hrs or so in a ditch on I70 thru Kansas near Salina when they got hit 5-6yrs ago, black ice got me.
that your vehicle in the pic?

We've been very fortunate here in the Pacific Northwest for quite a few years now.

No massive storms have hammered us like in the winter of '68-'69.

I was only 14 then, [ giving away my age here ] it snowed every day from October through March.

-40* temps, cars were stuck, trucks were stuck, road graders were stuck, trains were stuck.

I lived in a tiny town then, all the local farmers brought their bulldozers to town to clear it out.

They pushed all the snow down to the High School Football/Baseball feilds, where it didn't completely melt away till May.

thats not toatally true, I know that myself, and alot of others from other boards here in the area, was out pulling out people.
Even ran across a few off duty firefighters, out leaning a hand.
alot of the Co. people belong to F.E.A.T. we are not compinsated in anyway, if we damage our vehicles, to bad, so I know that alot of people was out leanding a hand.
Denver is a big area, we cant cover everywhere, and cant get to everyone, sorry no one helped you out.
but I do see your point, alot of selfish people, that dont care about anyone but themselves.

Ditto on that. I lost count of how many folks I pulled out last month. So many that I ordered a new rear bumper with shackle hangers so I wouldn't have to keep crawling under to hook up to the axle!

Y'all be carefull hooking somethin up to your rear axle like that, you can pull your own stuff apart!

Hmmmm - tc is supposed to be on his way to Chicago right now. His flight was cancelled this a.m from Denver so they re-routed through Kansas City. I think he is in the air now on hos way to Chicago. Hopefully he'll be able to make it to his customer visit tomorrow, but without his rig - it's looking bad...

Today I pulled a ford ranger up a hill, that was no biggy, but later I pulled a Ford F550 or 650 dually 4 door, railroad maintenance truck over the crest of a hill. That was humorous to watch.

Haven't pulled anyone out, cause anyone that has been in off the road has usually been wrapped around a telephone pole and the tow truck was already there pulling it out...

People need to learn to drive in a inch of snow...

Heck, around 10pm I went out when ice was just starting to form over the 3 inches that was on the road.
I was driving around in 2wd with no issues.

I am thinking of driving up to NY and playing in some of there snow...
