Default Snow-tastic

Real truck vs. factory height Ranger. This just makes me feel good.

Those two trucks definitely have different looks, that poor Ranger! And where's the damn snow? I was out there a couple of weeks ago skiing, had to drive through whiteout conditions down I-70 back to Denver. It got hairy a few times.

This is a bait-and-switch tactic, I want my money back! there isn't the right amount of snow for the Snow-tastic subject line


Nice looking!

We don't even pre-start the truck or brush off for that amount of snow! Getting ready for another 10cm (6 inches) today!


Actually, the worst winter driving I ever did was Colorado Springs to Santa Fe! Heavy, wet snow that just turned into ice on the road as it was packed down. Driving one of those awful chevy "minivans" - lucky it was all wheel drive to give me a bit of control.

Well gentleman, CO has not seen near the amount of snow fall that it normally does. This was more of a fun photo and ego booster of yesterday's spontanious snow. Today it 60 degrees and sunshine shorts weather.

We're all just having fun! We are -18C this morning (-4F), with a windchill of -28C (-22F?). This might be the winter that never left!

Out here, we would call that only slightly more than a "dusting" of snow.
