Jeep Snow Pics...Post 'em up!

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:

I knew you liked pics , now I know to what degree! :thumbsup:
 
Well today this thing really earned its keep. We have 6-7" more of that miserable wet as _____ snow slush ice on top kinda snow. The issue this am was a short causing the battery to dump. Figured that out and then it really didnt want to move too well in this slop. Also Cause I parked it in an unplowed spot two days ago. Well I cranked the "emergency drive " knob in the glove box and WOW. I had known what the quadratrac system could do, but with a working working E.D. system I had never put it to use. It's like having front and rear lockers it locks the center diff and I immediately had true 4 wheel power and pulled right out. Since this is a picture thread tho , well here is a pic. ;)

Made it to the garage so I can restart the project. Snow is deeper than the 33's. Only had to winch a few times.

Had about 8" yesterday and over night. Was on shift with the FD yesterday and things got pretty crazy on I-70. At least 11 tractor-trailers jackknifed or off the roadway with multiple cars in between.
Made first tracks up our driveway this morning when I got home.

Getting dumped on right now. Have shoveled the driveway twice. At least 12" and its not stopping. Drifting snow too...

 
Woke up to about 8" of fresh powder this morning. So fluffy I was able to clear the walks with my shop vac turned leaf blower.

We're about to have a few days in the single digits, too...

This pic is from yesterday evening, before the dump.

[Butthead voice]hehehehhhehehehehehe, you said dump. [/Butthead voice]
 
I used the snow blower to clear around the garages before I went at it with the tractor... about a foot has fallen now... and the wife's Jeep was shuddering looking out in the cold... LOL.

In another thread, I stated I would happily trade rain for snow. Be careful what you ask for... It has been snowing for the last three days, and there is one more big storm predicted to come through tonight. I know this is nothing compared to back east, but this is pretty big for us. We're at well over 16 inches, and last night there were heavy winds just to make it interesting. Pics.

Do you know what's worse than not having a front driveshaft in a blizzard? Having mud tires, a lot of horsepower, and a locker too. Just had to have my wife pull me out of the parking lot at the Brewery. How embarrassing. But, I was in good company, there were people stuck everywhere.

Where is your driveshaft? Minions steal it?

Admit it, you were too drunk to get out of your parking spot ;)
 
Wow...just keeps snowing. Well over 2' (yes, feet) since this morning...I took this pic just now off our front deck. The Scrambler is barely visible in the background.

As far as my front driveshaft goes, I have never built a permanent front shaft, as I am still unsure where the front axle will end up. I think that's about to change- just get a long travel slip and call it good.

And- no, I had not over indulged in hoppy goodness. I did that once I made it home.

I got stuck because I dropped a front tire over the top of a stop block, and with the rear locker it just slid sideways into a snow bank. The lot was a sheet of ice covered in snow, hard to walk without slipping.

Randy, that sucks. I would be soooo over the snow by now. My mental state would be very questionable good luck and cheers my friend.
