Default Winter in the NW

I couldn't resist taking some Snow Pic's of my Delivery Today. We here got about 10 inches of Snow, that is a lot of snow for us. The one pic of the Truck's in the driveway you can sure tell which one gets Garaged.

I agree with Pluck but not fun to drive school bus in. Farmers happy with cover for wheat.

Yes! - Beautiful truck! She looks gorgous against that snowy background! You've inspired me to take our roadster out when we get our first sizable snowfall before they salt the roads (Wilmington, Delaware).

I just love the pictures of the old car in the snow! It makes them look more like in their time.

Gary and Don, those are beautiful machines! Thanks for sharing them with us. BTW, here in central Massachusetts we have NO snow. Last real storm was October!

In the Chicago area - they salt when the weather liars say it's going to snow - they don't wait until it's started... and then can't be found when it does start...

Beautiful trucks... really need to find that vat of money (anybody know where it is...?) - I want to build a 20 car garage (to start) and fill it with all different kinds of "A's"...

Beautiful trucks, indeed.

LOL, that sounds just like Minnesota. They predicted a few snow flakes the other day and right away the roads were so white with salt that you couldn't see the white lines in the road. I don't think we even got enough snow to measure.

We had about 10" of snow in our area of good old "rainy" Oregon. To much of a chicken to take the A's out in it. Had a hard enough time getting the 4 wheel drive Chev up and down our road.

Here in Snohomish Wa. 20 miles east of Everett we have 14" or more on the ground & 5ft piled up in front of the garage & shop where it slides off the metal roofs. Been doing uphohstrey in my 60B leatherback. With no heat in my shop & 23 degrees outside & can work until my fingers cramp up & turn blue then I go in to get warmed up. I have found the 500 watt halogen light warms up the interior of the car with the window up & doors closed. Sure like like my Jeep Rubicon in this weather. I guess we're lucky my daughter who lives about 10 miles away has been w/o power since Monday. They went to Costco & bought a generator. In the Seattle/Tacoma & Snohomish County area there are close to 150,000 w/o power. Stay warm!! Perry

Here's a picture of mine in the snow. Only difference is the picture was taken in Omaha 1952. The picture came with the Delivery when I bought her. I'm a snowy Washington resident but escape to AZ for the winter.

Sounds like you need a FORD F150 4-WD Fred...no problem here and there is an inch of ice on the road...plus about 3-4 inches of frozen rain!

I had a 4-hour layover in Seattle Wednesday evening that turned out to be 7 hours, most of the extra time sitting on the airplane while they de-iced it. From what I understand, our plane was among the last to leave before they shut everything down.
