That actually makes things worse of course because eventually you throw off your contact patch and are on your belly with tires spinning in air. It was just that things were so deep, the tires bit the snow, but the snow-snow adhesion wasn't enough to push the increasing pile on the front bumper. As I said, there was still 5" of snow under her tire tracks.

we have the snow machine cranked and running .... we had several inches today (was wishing I had the taller boots and not the "high ankle" ones) ... more tonight ... good possibility of at least a foot by tomorrow ....

Replying to: ladywclass (Jan 09, 2009 4:12 pm) I was prepping myself last night and wore that garb, along with my winter coat, gloves, and boots, out to feed the chickens. I tell ya, my knees were quite cold by the time I made it back to the house ten minutes later!

Replying to: ladywclass (Jan 09, 2009 4:12 pm) We're in the middle of a major melt-off - even made the national news Wednesday night for our 60 inches of snow in 3 weeks and the flooding that ensues when it all melts all at once. So... the auger clutch cable on the snowblower broke the day after the first big snow. Yesterday afternoon, at the zenith of the meltdown, the shop called... it's fixed  Changed the oil after I got it home, during which I managed to take most of the skin off a knuckle trying to get the oil drain bolt loose. At work, we've sustained a 38% increase in calls for service in the last 3 weeks compared to the same period last year. Yet another chapter in the story of Spokane Snowmageddon  Cheers! Paul

Replying to: xwesx (Jan 09, 2009 4:39 pm) I didn't know where North Pole, Alaska is so I went to Yahoo maps to see where in Alaska it's located. When it popped up, I still didn't have a good sense of where it was in the state so I started zooming out. Zooming to the "state" label didn't help much either. I finally had to zoom out to the "country" label in order to see the whole state! I don't envy you your cold temps .. I don't like it when we're in only the single digits here, and it takes getting into the 40's before I'm ready for shorts ....

Replying to: xwesx (Jan 09, 2009 4:39 pm) Next week that cold air mass by you is expected to slide down over us. I think you mentioned having an Escort and weren't sure how it would perform this winter. I was wondering if you keep the cars block heater and oil pan heater plugged in all the time you aren't driving them? How is your fleet starting so far? Jim
