Isn't it kind of "June/ July/ Winter" over in your neck of the woods anyway!?

I mean, you all are kind of used to snow, aren't you?

% Ton Dump Hauling Snow

I was tired of all of the big piles of snow lying around so I loaded them on my dump and hauled them out to the field. When spring came, I wanted to have the snow gone ASAP around my house! It had been a long winter.

So that's LAST year's pic, right: you all aren't already getting snow?

Bad-to-the-bone! Nice truck. Looks fresh, clean, solid and mean.

Well its time to start this post back up. Not much snow but its a starts and hopefully the truck will be hidden by spring and the droughts will be over.

A big, monster azz truck out in nature. You got yer trees, forest road, snow. Is that a stump under yer front axle? What do you have here?

It's not that my truck can't handle the many feet of snow we get each year,it's the fact that the amount of salt used on the roads here in western new york destroys vehicles. I cleaned the 1 1/2 feet of snow off the top and pulled back the tarp to start it up for awhile.

Ditto on the salt fear and it's not just up North...we got 10 inches of snow and the temp hovered around 5 degrees... I took the truck out driving to see if anyone needed help and the next day my truck looked like a frosted mini wheat with the salt spray on it...they are using that salt liquid on our roads now so it makes a big mess that is hard to rinse off...Will have to rethink how much driving to do from now on until I can work out a better rinse capability in the cold...

Wouldn't the APC be much more capable in the snow than the truck? I think I am missing something, but maybe you had to trailer the APC to the rental location?
EDIT...
I think I get it now, the deuce and a half was in your way, you had to move it... I can only imagine puckering up on that hill. I managed to get my 5 ton stuck in ankle snow on level ground near my driveway, shockingly those things are not at all capable on the snow. Why they don't have locking differentials is beyond me. I can only imagine sitting in that thing as a soldier, while being stuck in sand or snow, and the bad guys are shooting at you!! What moron did the design criteria and didn't think of capabilities to actually move in slippery ground... Ugh.

Get a scandinavian edition then . I know the M35's the norwegian armed forces used to have, came with 3 air lockers straight from the factory. And boy do I want to get my hands on one of those

4" from last weekends storm
Major Ice Storm hitting this weekend

This is a decent snow for us.
We get more tornadoes and earthquakes than snow.

1st trial of new city snow plow. 12" the week before Christmas (none since). Worked out pretty well.
Need to get about 4t of ballast in the back Block heater beats ether.

I'm thinking about a plow next year on mine. Any specs on that?

M925 in the snow.

Took my truck out for. Lite fun the other night. I just put in a new trans so I was being easy on it.

Yeehaw!

Ya gotta love these in the snow... Nice drift! That's what it does even when you're trying to go straight! Side hills are a nightmare!

I couldn't tell you why, but all I got was audio and no video; sure sounded sweet, though.

I don't know why the link died. I uploaded it to youtube. Shouldn't disappear this time.
