Plows are for ....

PLOW??? You are just supposed to lock the hubs and go for it

I was stationed in Alaska and upstate NY. I know the value of having a clear driveway. I wish we got that much snow where I live in the Willamette Valley....will check back for the other pics..

Looks like most of northern New England got hit pretty hard too, here in central MA it mostly rained. I am beginning to fear winter is mostly past us down this way, but hopefully I'm wrong and we get pummeled all March.

I'd love the snow if I didn't have to shovel it

It is still actually snowing here right now, we already got 18 inches last night and early this morning and they are calling for another 12-16 inches today - YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to post some picks when I get back home tonight of my plow experience and maybe even a video....

I know exactly what you mean, we had at least 2 weeks straight in early Feb of -35 Celsius and on top of that a wind chill.

Today the wind is crazy, really this is a blizzard and one of the biggest ones I have have seen in years. Cars off the road everywhere; could not get on the highway off ramps this morning, 3-4 cars stuck and blocking them. I actaully had to drive 10 km's out of my way to get an off ramp that did not have any cars stuck on it.

Sheesh,Denver is well into the 60s for the next few days and we might see a little snow by the weekend but really haven't had a real snow yet in Denver this year but hoping for a March blizzard. I'm actually jealous.

they were talking about putting a roadside smog machine up around sacramento and the surrounding areas... you know the speed things? that u drive by and it shows u how fast ur goin? the roadside smog machine is the same thing, except it samples the smog your car is producing, to stop the people with dirty cars who smog illegally.
