East Coast Blizzard

Carter · Post by **Carter** » Sat Dec 19, 2009 3:18 pm

A snow storm was forcast for Friday and Saturday. The forcasters started off as a 30% chance of snow, then 50%, then they said maybe 6-10" and this morning it was 20-30" and about mid-day they started calling it a blizzard. It started snowing last night about 11 PM and by the time I took these photographs we had over 2 feet on the ground and it is suppose to snow all night tonight.
I had put the snow plow on the truck yesterday and parked it in the garage, ready for action and plowed about 10" of snow this morning and then a foot about 4 PM when I took these photos. It's back in the garage locked up for the night and after I swept some of the snow off I came into the house to find my wife baking chocolate chip cookies and a fire in the fireplace. Life is good. Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm waiting till the am. It started here about 2pm and we only received a few inches, so far. It is supposed to get much worse later after my late night Brandy. The M37 is sitting in the street waiting to make the 20 mile trip up to the Skeet range in the am, the last mile will be truly off road

Great photos.

If I had a garage my wife would probably want to use one side, and if I had a fireplace I'd do the same thing you're doing. It's supposed to start snowing here now and gust to 55mph tonight. Nice looking truck and I'm glad to see you're not reluctant to use it.

What no pictures of the cookies?

It started snowing here around 3:30 P.M Friday and has continued on all day today (it's still flurrying outside). Not sure right off hand how much we got but it was a lot (over a foot). I wish my M37 (or the ferret) was operational. Come to think of it, I also wish I had some chocolate chip cookies......

We've got the garage, the fireplace, AND the snow at home - but the M37 is still at the sellers home in Minnesota. Sure wish I had it here, might be fun getting over the mountains in a 2wd ranger Thursday.

GOOD MORNING, GREAT PICS AND THANKS FOR THE MERRY CHRISTMAS. NOT MANY OF US LEFT THAT SAY "MERRY CHRISTMAS".
I HOPE ALL HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS. I LIVE ON A BEACH ON THE SOUTH SHORE OF LONG ISLAND. JUST LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW (0630) AND SEE ABOUT 8"-10" WITH HIGHER DRIFTS. STILL SNOWING HERE BUT THE WEATHER MAPS SHOW ITS CLOSE TO OVER.

Bubba, Florida is nice but I like four seasons not just two, hot and not so hot and what would Christmas be without some snow to plow, "Jack Frost nipping at your nose" and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

Wayne, If it snows where you are like it did here, getting to the skeet range will be an adventure before the shooting starts and an M37 is the truck for the job. I saw the post of your rig last time you hauled to the range, nice M

Rick, The only reason we have a fireplace and a garage is that I built them, I don't mean payed to have them built but put them up myself. I think the neighbors would be very unhappy seeing my M37s parked outside. It's bad enough I leave the M880 and the M101 outside but four pieces of old iron would be a bit much.

Matt, this is for you

Mark, When the M37 gets home post a couple of shots also have fun in the Ranger Thursday, might be a real adventure.

Hey Bob, good morning, and yes, I like to say Merry Christmas and not happy holidays.
The weather map shows heavy snow over the island so it's a white Christmas for you also. Have fun.

Carter, I Like your truck! Does the winch raise the plow?
Snow is winding down here, hard to say how much as it's blowing around pretty good.

I bet Sandy made those yummy looking choclate-chip cookies. As much as your neighbors could complain, if you didn't plow the road & their driveways they would be even madder!!
