winter driving carnage

[tworail]

Let's see your carnage photos.. whatever you got. I'll start by posting the two times I have majorly gotten stuck in the snow:

My Pathfinder stuck in the field - crappy cell phone pic but the 'depressing' factor really shines here.

Sorta.. that's the lane to the main road, which is 1 mile from my place. It doesn't get plowed since I'm the only guy in there right now and I don't want to pay to have it plowed. So either 4x4 if the snow is low or snowmobile if the snow is high.

No one helped get it out, just me and my girlfriend with some shovels

Here's my contribution....horribly cold, that day. Thermometer dropped like a stone to near 75F, the ice trays looked as if they were freezing over as we watched. People in the picture were fleeing in fear, trying to get indoors before it got any worse....terrifying.

LOL, nice one Reckers.

*grins* I couldn't resist it. I love showing your hardier-types how bad we have it, down here. That lady in the front is my girlfriend. Incidentally, we actually are in the middle of a pre-storm panic, down here. I went out and bought (2) 1-pound boxes if ice-cream salt for the sidewalk outside my apartment. (I'll probably use one box.) We're expecting 3 to 5 inches of snow, tonight. I'm not kidding about the panic: my boss had me call around and arrange for someone to plow the snow and rocksalt the parking lot, here at work. The groceries will probably sell out of bread and milk by 7 pm, all over town, as we hunker down in the face of "a big one". *L* As for me, I'm heading over to the Y after work to swim laps.

tworail why are you driving around in a field?
trying to see if you get stuck?

Looks to me like you need a good set of chains and put some weight over the axles?

edit...........................

maybe a winch would help too.

edit again.........................
maybe you should get a plow too?

I have to get through the field to the main road

Plow would be nice.

3"-5", Reckers? That's a dusting just to your North. The weather wizards with their crystal ball, incense, eye of bat, and ground up monkey tongue are saying 6"-10" here.

I'm building an igloo just in case.........
