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!

 

I wish the twin cities would get hit hard with snow... we have like 2 inches and i wanna wheel some hard core snow

 

lucky this isnt upstate NY. some areas, 9ft+

i love this weather tho and dont mind one bit pulling someone out (if i can) or helping push or whatever. especially hot women haha

 

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...

 

thats awsome! i get exited when i see snow like that...makes me mad the i have only been snowboarding twice this season...i remember 3 years ago me and a bunch of buddies drove aroung all night just to pull people out...it was a really nice getting the 100 dollar tip from the guy in the SL500. here on LI its supposed? to snow then rain to ice then back to snow...hopefully i can get my quad out tonight but no snow so far.

 

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...
