blizzard thread!

well this brutal storm should make for some pretty sweet pictures/stories so lets see/hear them!

I haven't done anything very exciting but I snapped a couple pictures.

here's downtown/around Lodi at like 8:30PM




and here's my Honda buried in the driveway like 20 minutes ago




lets hear em!

Some asshole ran his truck off the road by my house last night. I barely made it down the road and down my driveway, so I had no interest in trying to help him. This morning, I look out my bedroom window and its still buried.

My driveway has 6ft drifts across it. Not sure if my road has been plowed yet or not. Work is closed up for the day.

Its going to be a long day.

Yeah I went and looked around at like 4 this morning and I couldn't even see my mailbox. And I don't think there's a gas station open in Lodi to get gas for my snowblower. So shoveling by hand should be fun!

Went snowboarding today. Saw a shit ton of car on the sides of the hwys plowed in

Bombed around in the explorer last night, through drifts as tall as my hood. I didn't get stuck, but i came close when trying to get around one of those fucking roundabouts on O'Keeffe Avenue in SP. This morning I went to start plowing, and the truck gave up the Ghost, no power, nothing. We are getting a skid loader tomorrow, so until then I have a 6 foot drift in front of the apartment. Oh, I also pulled out a full sized Cummins Dodge out of a drift with my Explorer and a tow strap. The look on the guy's face was priceless.

hahah nice. I used to have this douche of a redneck homo that lived by me with a lifted '00 Cummins with stacks, gay chrome tail lights, the works.. thought his truck was the shit and would floor it every time he saw me. he got that fucker stuck really good over by Waunakee once and I happened to be shortly behind when it happened so I yanked him out with my tow strap using my 2000 Grand Cherokee 4.7L with a slipping trans and fresh snow on the ground. he wouldn't say a word to me lol.

lol you don't seem like the snowboarding type to me... did you go to Cascade? there's always soo many Illinois cars stuck in the ditch between the Cascade exit and Lodi.

I went to Cascade last week and Tyrol yesterday. I have been in over a decade. Can't remember why I stopped, been meaning to get back into it for the longest time. I figured those were my two chances this year before my surgery takes my out for a while. My equipment makes me feel old though.... it's older than some of the rugrats on hills:)

What town is that? I really like that photo.

that is lodi looking north where 113 comes in and makes bend to the left and hwy J (i think) kind of goes to the right
