Default Surviving the blizzard of 2011

After shovelling the driveway for 4 hours, I did something Iv'e wanted to do for years: Took the half track for a spin before the salt trucks came through. What a blast. Most of the roads had 2 feet of snow on them. Some drifts up to 4 feet. It complained a little, but made it through. I wanted to take the Sexton out, but it is in a garage 12 miles away. Jesse.



More fun after the storm had passed.

Excellent photo's. Looks like you had a ball. Looks like the 'Battle of the Bulge' all over again.Too cold for me though. Having said that it was 42.5 degrees here on Tuesday. Too bl##dy hot to do anything with metal. Cyclones up north and wild fires 100km to the east. Australia is a fun place to be in summer.

Default Snow Fun

How well did the Half Track drive in the Snow?
I want to take My Carrier for a Drive but No Snow in this Side of Canada.
A Friend of Mine Has Chains for His Half Track
Take some Video and post it on You Tube and send the link

Default Go North

Tried to come up your way this Summer but only made it to Quesnel for a forest Fire and then another at Dog Creek.

Default Global warming?

Yep, this Global Warming thing is wreaking havoc with our weather. We're having near record lows here in Dallas and it's snowing...again for the second time this week.
