I wish I could've done that.
​​​​​​
My third plowing session took three hours because I was being nice and plowed my neighbor's driveway and ended up with the ATV in the ditch. Had to walk back over to the house and get the truck to pull it out. (Has to clean thus much snow off it first...)



Once I dragged out the quad, I got to reverse the truck all the way back out avoiding the ditch, take it up to the house, and then walk back over for the Griz. Adventure. Yay.

With this much snow, I felt like I was just pushing some of the same stuff back and forth. The plowed path is wide enough for the truck, though, so it's wide enough.

40° for a high tomorrow, then 48° on Monday and 55° on Tuesday should turn things into a big 'ol muddy mess.

Sounds like those falkens are right at home in the snow.

The truck is a tank with these things. There was more than a foot in places, and not a lot was level.

AK and I had a conversation a couple days ago about how good these trucks are in the snow. Add good tires, and it is indeed a tank. My cheap-o Antares tires are solid in the snow too.

That was about as lazy of a weekend as I've ever had. Zero motivation to get anything but the necessities done (laundry, etc.).

As you can tell, it's about to get snowy here. Had some pretty good wind gusts on the way in to SLC today. The rest of the week may be F150 weather.

@Jbrew do you have an alternate personality?

This is the 6 door SD that I keep seeing around town. WAAAY overpriced though, IMO.
