DC Snowpocalypse 2010

Thought you guys would like to see these pictures. I've been out during every storm this year, getting people unstuck and shoveling them out afterward. The Tacoma is GREAT in the snow, better than I hoped for. The stock Bridgestones have terrific grip, even in the deep stuff. I only got stuck once, pulling out the 3500 below, and was able to get unstuck after taking a couple shovelfuls of ice out from behind my tires.

Over the course of this latest storm I pulled out a stuck 2WD Explorer, an 80s GMC 1500 2WD, an early 2000s GMC 3500 4x4 plow truck, a pair of Crown Vics, a loaded Ford Econoline, 2 Jettas (one still in park) and an early 90s 2WD Tacoma driven off the road into a snow bank.

The only mod I've done is the yellow wire mod for 4Low Trac. Never needed 4Low except for pulling people out though. I actually spent a good amount of time in 2WD, and found that the Auto-LSD did a respectable job getting the truck moving, most of the time.

 

Awesome pictures, looks like so much fun!

 

great pics!

 

Looks like a ghost town!
Was that 4th gen Runner playing out there too?

 

Looks great! Considering we are hosting the Winter Olympics some snow might be good here...

 

Nice pics. That's mighty nice of you to help out all those people.

 

Jefferson Memorial FTW! Lots of fond memories there.

 

Awesome!

 

I supposed that explains why I can't get a hold of anyone at work in Alexandria this week...

 

Here's another one from the first storm back in December. It's pretty fun to drive around when it's just you and the plows...and the idiots who think they can get around with 2WD.

 

I had fun being good sam for the stuck people.


Shoveling...that I charged for. Thank God for motrin!

 

I am headed to DC this weekend, should be FUN!

 

they are some cool pics im in the marine corps and stationed in dc(8th and i) and driving back from pa last weekend was a joke baltimore washington parkway and all those two wheel drive idiots all i could do was laugh

 

That looks like buffalo every winter

Get the Goodyear Duratracs, they are OUTSTANDING in the snow.

 

They should have had the winter olympics in D.C Vancouver is like 50 degrees

 

We've had record highs...last week was up to 14 degress celcius. Last year we got a record snow dump - something like 1 meter over a few weeks in the city. Normally it comes and goes as fast. Thankfully I was in Brasil for the whole time!

 

HAHA ya brazil would be alot warmer. Im from eastern Washington and its been horrible this year today is going to be 55

 

That's just crazy. Ive never lived in a place where it snows like that... Cool pics
