Jeep Snow Pics...Post 'em up!

I don't have a lot of experience with plows but this one is a Meyer E47 circa the mid 80s and a complete guess on the date as it looks newer than 1974. It works great now, after I replaced all the leaky fittings.
 
The vintage plows I have are Meyers. The plows we use commercially are Westerns.
 
These are from last week. Keep in mind, this is not snow, but ice, and this is south Mississippi, on the Gulf of Mexico:

This stuff sucks, y'all can keep it up north:rotfl::thumbsup:
 
Ice like that is the absolute worst.
A few years ago, I flew to Seattle for work, was out there for 3 weeks then came home.
Truck was in long term parking... while I was gone it snowed 8-9 inches, then it rained, and then it did what you have on your rig there.

I came home, it was April and I was in shorts... temp was about 25 and I couldn't get in the truck, over 2 inches of ice... it was around 2 in the morning due to delays in the flights as well.

Had to get the bus driver that dropped me off at the long term parking lot bring me back to the terminal, where I got 4 large cups of hot water just to pour on the outline of the door, so I could get the door open and then start the truck and very very low temperature on the defrost so I wouldn't shatter the glass... got the scraper out and then started to chisel away.

It was easily the worst waste of 2 hours of my life... my fingers still shudder when I think about that night.

It's a fun truck. It's got that big winch back there too which I have already pulled a motor with.

More snow pics. I hate snow and the mess it makes but the pictures make it look nice.

Ill call this last storm about 9" and dif dragging snow. Meaning my stock XJ makes drag marks....

Snow is slated for overnight as well, not sure how much you guys will get, but we are slated to get 12-14" or so... I hope to have some nice pictures of it tomorrow... pretty... yes... fun to deal with, absolutely not!

Here it is at last frozen where it's packed. This pic from the a couple of days ago when struggling with the Zetor. Packed the rims full - the snow drifts were about 5' deep.

I think we got 7 inches. Supposed to get between 3 and 6 more tonite, then the larger storm Jersey mentioned this weekend. Got a little fun time after work today.

 
I like it. Not the snow just the pic. Don't want the snow.

I'm equal opportunity when it comes to pictures.

If you really want to know, I particularly like the composition with the two treelines converging on the Jeep, the lighting (great time of day, even if the Jeep is slightly dark), the position of the Jeep in the photo and, more specifically, the position of the tracks in the snow with the way they are coming in from the right and perfectly straight, and the packed snow in the side tread of the tire. :bow:
