    Winter Stories?

    How is everyone doing today?

    I know its a bit knarley today here in Reno, cold and lots of snow, but I know it is much, much worse out there in other spots.

    No snow, but very cold... it's 8 outside right now (warming to a high of 12 later). We are supposed to get some light snow in the next couple of days. Orlando is lookin' better all the time!
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    Cold, light snow but there's just enough on the streets for some of the Idiots that use the "Summer " tactic of Driving/Texting and There Starbucks end up on the floor. It's fun to watch there expressions when they finally grab the wheel with BOTH hands..

    Yeah, I saw a wrecked white Isuzu Rodeo this morning off on the side of the hwy. Crumpled front end and both air bags deployed....probably slid off into the median. 4x4 does not mean you won't slide...

    I would love to see Moab right now.

    It's was -1 when I woke up this morning and we'll be hitting a high of 22 today. We got almost a foot of snow over the weekend, and more is supposed to be coming today. The roads are in TERRIBLE shape right now, but luckily everyone is driving very slowly and giving each other a lot of room for braking.

    The snow sucks on the roads but it was SWEEEEEEET on the mountain yesterday. Nothing like 18 inches of fresh, light, dry Colorado powder. Who's up for a few runs?

    Looks like Moab is a little chilly and snow is in the forecast.

    I'm a bit nervous because I only have my driver side CV installed. I am pretty sure my one axle will not help me since I have no locker.

    I flew into Chicago last Monday and noticed you had some snow. When I left Salt Lake we had none but when I called Linda to check in she informed me there was 8" on the drive. Got another 10" Saturday and more on the way, should be measuring in feet by the end of the week. Did I mention traffic sucks in Chicago?

    Just a very light dusting of snow around town and not in all parts. The La Sals look great and very big.

    I was in Denver over the weekend and drove back on Sunday and it was snow packed from around Idaho Springs to almost Grand Junction. I was in a little Honda Civic though.... better gas mileage.

    I think you will be ok. I only dropped into 4x4 once and it was just cause I felt like it. I haven't really needed yet.

    LOL, yeah, it's absolutely horrible there. It can easily take hours just to go across town, depending on how bad it is. And throw in some winter weather, for get about getting anywhere in a timely manner.

    Jack, I think I'm going to stick close to home because the roads are terrible right now, but I do need to board the Front Range sometime soon.

    Darrin,

    I heard that they opened up a lot of new terrain in T-ride so I can't wait to get out there, and it sounds like they got a lot of snow this past weekend too. I have an air matress that you are always welcome to so come on out.
