New England B.S. Thread

Just got home(split early)12:50 to 1:55 Worcester to Putnam CT.
Not bad in spite of the congo line for 3 miles in Auburn to Rt 20 and 395 in CT has not seen s plow in at least 3 hours.

 

Uhoh, time to trade it in. The truck is completely devalued and will likely rust away by the weekend.

In the words of my uncle, "it's a family recipe, passed down from generation to generation... Pillsbury I think it's called"

 

the snow on the garage door dripped water on the hood when i opened it.....ughhhhhhh

 

That was also on an episode of Friends. Nestle Tollhouse.

 

2 words FUCKING SNOW!

 

Nice beard

 

Great looking beard!
I'll be keeping my beard ice free today though.

 

No choice, I take care of the mechanicals in an office building and I also get to do snow removal, I'm so lucky!
Hence my deep seeded hatred for snow.

 

Nice, got mine finished up last month.

 

well 5 1/2 hours later I'm done with that round of pushing

 

Channel 13 cheating a bit here with this recalculation, lol. We've already got over a foot on the ground here.
Pretty impressive for a storm that on Monday they said wasn't going to do anything but dust us.



And now they're saying that we've got another storm coming in on Monday that might be a blockbuster, with the possibility of ANOTHER storm on Wednesday!

 

Ugh!! back to back storms. Wonderful. Well we only had a total of about 10" here and the suns been out since 1.

 

"big" snow, it's like they're not even trying anymore

 

Back to back to back to back to back.

Had 8 inches Tuesday/Tuesday night.
Over a foot on the ground already today.
A few inches on Saturday.
Big storm Sunday night into Monday.
Another storm on Wednesday!

Mother Nature is trying to make up for a shitty January all at once! Bring it on!

 

I left work early as well. The visibility was probably worse than the actual road conditions. I couldn't believe how many people drove past me without their lights on. With visibility so poor, I had very little time to even seen them. Common sense is lost on the masses, I suppose.

I much prefer the MT in poor weather and actually forgot how much more I like it since it's been a few years since I drove MT in the snow. The ABS in the '16 is less sensitive than the '13, but it's still far too easy to get it to engage. It's a bit unnerving when you hit the brakes and the truck keeps going. Snow tires are key still as I never needed 4WD. The only time I went sideways was when I intentionally gave it too much gas.

 

Got home about an hour ago. Boss kicked me out at about 3:20 and took me about 35 minutes to get home (usually about a 20 minute ride)

 

Not bad

 

You running the c-rated ko2s still for DD tires?

 

Alrighty all, I'm outta here. Wish me luck on the ride home; was just outside to start the beast and you can't see shit even when you're sitting still.
Wonder how many idiots I'll come across on my way.


PS-Forecasters are ballparking/speculating that storm on Monday might drop 20+ inches in my area.
