It's snowing here in central Washington. The frikkin neighbor kids woke me up with their wall to wall noise and then the keyword snow I heard them say upon walking out their front door. Got out of bed and holy crap, its snowing.

This thread has me dying to get up to northeastern NY and do some snowboarding! I envy you all out there in the bigger mtn ranges. If anyone is looking for a snow wheeling/snowboarding partner give me a ring. I've got a 2 and a half week vacation planned for early January!
oh yeh....awesome pics everyone keep them coming!

Ben,
A buddy of mine was just in levenworth over this weekend and it started to snow on friday or saturday. I remember passing through that area last year when I was going to winthrop, and I think it is the coolest looking place with snow on the ground.
Also I am going back up to the foothills on saterday, or maybe another day this week.... if anyone wants to join me

I'm so excited my thread has 4 pages!!! lol
anyway heres an update of Indiana weather: Today was a high of about 63!!!! Can you belive that weather here the past few years has been so weird and i am sooo dissapointed that there is no snow yet. I am in a state of total jealousy of those who live in the mountains or anywhere where there is snow... I don't understand why it is so warm, it should be freezing now. but oh well, it'll eventually come but waiting is so hard
so, thought i'd share...for those of you who have snow, get out and enjoy it!

14 inches is nothing. Try driving in 3 feet. In 1996 me and some friends went up to the mountains of VA to stay in a cabin for 4 days. The forcast was for 6 to 10 inches. Between saturday night and sunday morning, 2 feet of snow fell. We tried to get out but we were stuck. The blizzard was blowing hard so we went back to the cabin. When the storm finally ended monday evening, 3 feet had fallen. Tuesday morning we hiked 3 miles sometimes crossing 6 foot drifts to get to the nearest plowed road. My buddy called his wife and she came and rescue us in her exploder. Two weeks later we were able to get our trucks back. Luckily no one messed with them. Be careful what you wish for.

20" of snow untracked = stuck
Ok, so the more I thought about it. I've driven in 14" without a problem. In the afore mentioned storm it snowed more like 20". I parked in my backyard, I figured I'd try to back out to avoid having to do any shoveling but the snow was deep enough to stack up in the wheel wells and thus I when no where.

turboale, I got very lucky lol. We were ready to drive back to the city, pick up a new belt and tools then go fix the truck. Just glad there was a bunch of people up getting x-mas trees or just messing about that day. One thing though, with all the people on the road, no one stopped to offer any help, not even the Sheriff! Luckily one lone Toyota owner was gracious enough to help. Now for more good news. Looks like there's going to be a good snow fall this week about 30 min up the road Calling for 10 to 16 inches of the white stuff tonight and it might not let up till the middle of the week. Think it might be time to see how far I can go up the road hehe.
