In Iowa we call snow and ice like that "a normal Tuesday."
Good luck to all of you. I know this year I have finally grown old and have had enough of not owning a 4WD for the winter. For next fall I will remedy that.

My place is full with extended family since I am so very fortunate to have power.
I too will snap some pics when I go on my lunch break. Looking forward to your pics, Mike. BTW: Is Josh at your place? I see that he's posting on LM.net.

A few minutes ago...
That tree is actually about 5 feet off the MM. Right now, you couldn't shove a needle...

Got a pair of bolt cutters, a hedge trimmer, etc. to cut that all-too-close branch?
You'll have to post that snow-covered Marauder pic again after the she's detailed in a few months for contrast.

Still here and still got power. Might dig out my driveway today since the streets are supposedly clear.
Our state has been declared a federal emergency. Over 250,000 w/out power in our city alone. Statewide, this is one of the highest total power outages ever for Kentucky. We're in for more snow as early as Monday and Tue. I've got so much work to do to the Marauder in such a short amount of time and this snow is not helping.  How's everyone doing?

...well I'm not in your area but, I drove the 12 miles to work yesterday, that took 45 min., then it snowed four more hours, by the time I left for home the roads were clear, and dry, all we got was snow, if it's ice I don't go anywhere, (everyone here thinks that four wheel drive works like superman on ice), I know better.

yeah...we got socked pretty decent out east of cleveland.
after watching it snow ALL DAY at work, then shoveling the walk there and brushing off 7 cars, i wimped out and had someone plow the driveway for me. it was way more satisfying to watch someone else do it for $20, backdrag it down to the pavement and clean up a few problem areas.

I'm finally on a generator. We had 200 power poles down from the windstorm of Ike this past fall. Now we have 2500+ and still counting. Power company says it could take 4-6 weeks to get power to everyone. Marauder is hidden in a garage down the street that had no trees around it. My wifes van wasn't so lucky but I hate that thing anyway. Hope everyone is doing OK.

Its been cold here but not much snow lately must be all down south lol
