A late winter storm just dropped a few inches of the heavy, wet stuff today - right as rush hour was starting. Rain turned to snow and within an hour, we had a few inches on the ground. It's been three hours now and it hasn't let up. Since it's nearly spring, I think most will be melted by tomorrow evening and all of it by the day after.

I took the snows off my GS4 and took the snow scraper out of the trunk last week, so I had to soft pedal it all the way home. White knuckles!

I did my family business tonight and promptly went out in the GX! I'll admit it, I love driving my GX in the bad stuff. I haven't had a 4x4 for almost 20 years. While it's going to need new tires before next winter, it was still a beast tonight.

...sorry in advance for the lame iPhone pics.



Heading up a steep one. It was a parking lot of RWD cars spinning away hopelessly at the bottom, including a new CTS-V that got caught out. I envy that driver 99% of the time, but not today.


Turning around at the top and heading back down. Engaged 4-lo to keep the speed in check.


Here's the CTS-V parked. They clearly weren't going anywhere.


Here's what a major road looked like; everything was covered. Not a giant storm, but it dumped hard and fast. That's what she said.

Just caught this in yesterday's NW Jersey storm. It was in great traction in such condition. Winter is still there.... :-).

Bump for our friends in the NE.

(Only had a measly 1-3" total since Jan here in Boulder, CO. On the other hand, the trade-off has been 40-50F temps!)
