New England B.S. Thread

Mine have been pretty decent. I've been happy with how they performed in the snow. Taco may have different results though, Landcruiser is better balanced and full time AWD. Though they've got ~40k miles on them and though I don't need them, i'm probably going to go with MT's next time. They are the most practical tire to commute long distances on obviously.

 

Drove on the beach yesterday and they felt pretty solid. Definitely a confidence boost over the stock tires. So far they are great.

 

I think what this one means is a bunch of air from Canada is pushing it south and out to sea, so if it trends to less amounts it will at least bring in the cold in a big way.

 

Those damn Canadians!



Showed up at the body shop and they asked if I could push it out - they're down a few guys and closed next week so gotta bust ass to get stuff out. I've had the dent since .... April? I can live with it for another 2-3 weeks. Might end up road tripping after next week/holidays, we'll see about the 'rona. But, shop time is scheduled for Jan 4th now. I don't mind waiting, shit happens! Told 'em I live 5 minutes away and work 5 minutes away, not the end of the world.

 

I'll just leave this here. A lot of you guys are within a reasonable distance:

Now NBC Boston is calling for girthy 8"....giggitty.

 

Only looking like 4-5" for me:

 

looks like I'll be likely working from home Thursday! If that's accurate. 10 in in RI area. Although there's an annoying little cutoff right at the bay that says the East Bay wing it we have no idea

 

i dunno if i'd rather it doesn't get cold enough, but then is wet and heavy. or if we get a lot but it's fluffy and easy to shovel

 

2 days later rain and 45. I'm going to clear out the plow scraps for my wife to get in and out but sending the tacoma up and over. Yee haw.

 

I'd rather have a lot of light and fluffy. Even just 3-4 inches of wet stuff gets very heavy!

 

We're not even supposed to get anything out of it; maybe a couple of inches in the Southern part of the state. Just a dusting around here.

 

Great forecast, let's hope it doesn't change! The ponds just skimmed here. I don't want a layer of insulation on top of the ice to keep it from building more ice. And the ground isn't frozen at all. Keep that snow south for now!

 

We're right on the cusp of the 12-18"/ 9-12" line. So just like last storm we'll probably get 2". I did finally replace the roll pins in my snowblowers impeller housing last night though. So if we do get snow i'm ready. But that means we'll get nothing.

 

Right there with you, got the snow blower tuned up last weekend so i’m set for rain!

 

New Englanders hearing about a foot of snow before the year 2000...

New Englanders hearing about an inch of snow after the year 2000...

 

Kind of sad... I'm ready and excited though! My wife finally has an AWD car with new snow tires all around, truck has pretty new tires, weight in the bed and 4wd, snow blower is tuned up and ready to go, bring it on! Plus, we've had our rescue pup for a little over a year now and he's a transplant from Mississippi so he's never seen deep snow before. I think he'll have a blast if we get some good accumulation.

 

Dog will probably go crazy in the snow. I know our now ~ 1 year old GSD does the few times it's snowed this year, and the like 2 times it snowed last winter.

 

Well said! I like actually having a winter and enjoy snow. I’m not a fan of the lukewarm winters full of rain/snow mix and 50 degree days. Save that for the spring time
