    Had that or more in both houses. At least the crushed stone one was flat but it still sucked walrus wang.

    My best guess is that we've got about 6 inches here so far. Roads are shit, visibility is shit. The roads are unpredictable; some spots have been blown completely clear, and other parts are drifted a foot deep or more. Plus I couldn't see more than 20 feet past the end of the plow on the Dodge this morning, it's snowing so hard and swirling so much. Never got out of 3rd gear on the drive in this morning, which means I never did more than 35mph, haha!

    I dropped the plow when I got to work this morning and swept the parking area, but it's already drifted back in 3 inches deep in an hour. Crazy.

    lol. My chickens were extremely displeased. I opened the door to their coop this morning and they just stood there making angry noises before they jumped back up on the roost bars.

    Had about 12-15" at 7am this morning. Snowblower made quick work of it since it's so nice and light. Probably have another 4-5" accumulated since then.

    Nice.
    I just went out to the front office for a cup of coffee a few minutes ago and there's probably about a foot in the parking lot already. Tough to say because of all the drifts, though.

    I usually pull into my driveway. Last night I backed in in anticipation for the giant snow pile the plows create. Because of the wind, most of the snow ended up in the bed of the truck. Also, did I mention how well these Coopers do in snow? Climbed through that giant pile like it was nothing. With the Terra Grapplers, it would have taken me a couple shots.

    I never get to drive my Tacoma in the snow. :pout:
    The engineering firm that the GF works for requires that she come in regardless of weather for some reason, so when it snows she takes my truck and I drive the plow truck. So the only time I get to drive my truck in a snow storm is if it happens on the weekend, lol.

    I've been pretty impressed with the general grabbers I put on this summer so far this winter. No complaints, they have performed well so far.

    Ran those on a 1996 Nissan Hardbody. 4x4 Extended cab. Awesome traction and fairly smooth ride, but they started chopping when they got about 1/2 worn. Probably partly my fault; I went almost 8k miles without a rotation during the winter, but once they started to chop on the shoulders they just got worse and worse. I got tired of the road slap and sold them.

    BUT; this was probably 7 years ago or so, and I think they've probably altered the rubber compound since then.


    Edit- Update from our Doppler Weather Window here at work:

    Probably about a foot so far, and it's still snowing like a bastard.
