Snopocalypse Feb 2019

Post up your snopocalypse pics. Since we're all having a freak snowstorm of the century, let's see some cool shots.

(I don't know how to upload multiple pics tota single reply without a hosting site so I'll just reply with an upload to each reply)

This is my driveway yesterday afternoon. There was another 8" of snow since then.

 

33" tires and snow is halfway up the wheel (almost).

 

My wife's Armada this morning.

 

Mcdowell Mtn's N Scottsdale Snow stuck down near the 2k elevation mark. Tried to talk the boss into giving us a snow day at work. Request denied.

Dang I need chains and 4 wheel drive to get to west side of Phoenix
Where the hell do I buy chains

 

North of Dynamite Rd at the end of Alma School Rd.

 

This is my view from work. To the west are the White Tank mtns.
To the north are the Bradshaw mtns.
Sorry about the crappy cell pics.

North/NE towards Desert Mountain

East towards Four Peaks. Waited for an hour for the cloud cover to pass 4 peaks, it never did.

 

I had the pleasure of having the I-17 all to myself last Friday early morning, the morning after our record breaking day of snowfall.

I was literally the only crazy bastard out there. Passed no one but two snow plows for ~ 50 miles.

I would have much preferred to be sleeping peacefully in my bed, but I had a flight to Beijing to catch at Sky Harbor that morning.

I was glad to be in my Tacoma though. Thing is a beast.

 

I was pretty happy with how my tacoma did in the snow. I did drive a few times around prescott and had roads mostly to myself as well. Good job making your filght!

I will say though that my wife's Armada did much better. Her Armada is a lot heavier, better weight distribution and skinnier tires. We have a slanted driveway, I had to use 4wd to get in the driveway where my wife didn't.

 

On highway 288 between Willow and Young Arizona!
Fun Day!

 

That definitely looks like fun. Am I a scardie cat or are you just brave being there alone (unless you're the caboose)? I don't have faith in my truck to not leave me stranded. I always have a rule to never go wheeling alone.

 

We were in a group of 3 and one guy had chains. One would take point, if he got stuck, another would take point plowing and the other would help get em un stuck. Took turns plowing until it got too deep to make any progress (when it was up to the hood)

 

Late to the party but I went up to Flagstaff on Wednesday the 20th. Stayed two nights and skied Thursday/Friday. Snow was incredible.

Snowbowl Thursday morning



Oak Creek, Sedona. There was about 18" of snow at the house in Sedona on Saturday morning. It was incredibly beautiful.
