Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted December 10, 2013 went out to the mailbox and the snow squeaked - looked when I got back in and it is 8 degrees. now as long as we have snow I like it to stay below 28 or so - that way it isn't a wet snow but this is a little too far down there if you aren't on a sled and bundled upps not me but a true sled is always yellow - just sayin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrznFire07 217 Posted December 10, 2013 woke up this morning to -14. My Expedition wouldn't start so I tried my van, doors froze shut. After prying the doors open and finally getting it started found out my brakes froze and I couldn't hardly stop. I think it was -21 last night. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted December 10, 2013 I just walked over to my kitchen window and snapped a few pics for you guys --- you guys got slammed pretty good ,..... we got ice and about 4 inches of snow. south and east of us got blasted with ice breaking trees and power lines of course and countless wrecks..they just couldnt understand why they could not stop from 50 miles an hour on ice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I KNOW I love how people have no common sense when it comes to ice, suddenly everyone's going 5mph, and there's cars in the ditch upside down. when we want to make a little extra money when it snows just drive around with a tow strap! there's bound 6 or 7 people needing pulled out of the ditch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdrgrafix2 30 Posted December 11, 2013 I know the feeling about people and how they drive in the snow. I also used to drive tow truck and wow did we make money when it snowed.
