Winter made it today!

[Mark Saiger]

Heading out for the first real plow event of the year....

Dragging hoses through snow and yuck....

People sliding off the road....

But there is still some beauty to the first real snow fall that takes place....

And our lake is still not frozen over....first time we can ever recall that happening this late into December!

 

[Chris A]

You can keep it too!

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Hey we got that here too!

 

[Brian H]

Our lake hasn't frozen over yet either. And it was in the low 60's here last Sunday.

I am thinking we pulled our dock and boat a little too early this year!!

as much as i like the beauty of the snow. its still sucks to drive in.

 

[Charlie Lyman]

It snowed this morning. Now it's melted.

The blue turf was all white.

I don't mind driving in it when I am the only one on the road. Throw in several thousand freaked out drivers and you get a sense what snow in rush hour traffic around here is like.

It's been unseasonably warm here. No snow yet, not even much cold either but somehow I caught a cold this week.

Tomorrow's cold but it's going to pretty nice through Christmas. NO snow.

 

[Nate The Great]

All this snow talk makes me want to take a hot shower..... It's been pretty reasonable lately....

 

[Desk Jockey]

You're pathetic. You need to come visit me...in the winter!

 

[Nate The Great]

That's like asking the husband if it's ok to bang his wife when he's not home..... I wouldn't do that and you shouldn't either.....

But your right, I'm a weenie in the cold...

 

[Mark Saiger]

It was crazy trying to plow... Really wet snow, super slippery under the snow...

Just dumped $1200 into the snow plow the other day to prep and fix and dang thing quit working today and had to get going again...

The cold is just kicking the snot out of us as we get older... Ugh

 

[Desk Jockey]

I wouldn't put it passed you to ask.

 

[Mark Saiger]

Love some of the new features on the camera of this Samsung Note 5!

Such cool options for manipulating colors!

I had BF Goodrich Commercial Radial TA's on the vans this past winter....they were ok...but don't think they held up as well...

On my new one, I have Cooper's...and went with more of an off road tire (somewhat for the look too)

Verdict still out on how well they will do in more snow...but, we had a coating of ice under th3e snow and wouldn't you know, ice on top of grass...I could barely get anything moving...so don't know yet...but I do like the look a lot....so if I get stuck...I'm gonna look good sitting there....

But so far driving in general, the new Coopers are really nice and did handle the huge amount of snow yesterday....

Cooper is putting a lot of new technology in there newer tires. Tread ware is just awesome.

Negative windchill sucks!!

I am liking the Cooper Tires better right now too...also have a new set on my 4 x 4 Dodge Ram and so far really liking those...will take a look at what those are tomorrow and try to post...they are a 20 inch rim, so not sure what sizes they come in....

And I forgot to mention, with the new Coopers we have on the van, we actually went up to 17 inch after market rims (16 inch are stock)

Last years tires (the Commercial Radial TA's) were 16 inch

Sorry Richard, but a guy like you, who breaks a sweat just thinking, and then walking into a cool room, might catch a cold.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Bite me Mr. Cox.

 

[Doug Cox]

Truth Hurts, eh?

 

[Desk Jockey]

LOL

Nooo really...bite me!
