Re: Pics of your truck in the snow

My truck in the WHAT??

Actually I have lived in Arizona most of my life. In 1986 I awoke as usual. Got ready for work and was shocked as I opened the door because my brown truck had a white hood!!. WTH?? Did someone vandalize my truck was my first thought. There was actually 2-3" of snow on the ground.

Just a note. Phoenix residents don't know how or remember how to drive in that stuff.

Merry Christmas

P.S. Nice Suburban Stanton

Re: Pics of your truck in the snow

We got 16 inches out of that one last week. Sucks when you have an uphill driveway and have to back up it to plow it. Being the first plowable snow of the year I had no plow ridges to tell me where the driveway was. Now I know why guys use delineators.
The other picture is ice fishing about 10 years ago. I still take my truck on the lake but don't have any more recent photos. That '94 behind my truck made it just shy of three rounds before my friend had to put it down.

Re: Pics of your truck in the snow

This pictures are some of the best yet! Well,I got my wish yesterday. It was supposed to rain,but start out s sleet mid-morning,due to being below freezing shortly,then warm enough to rain. Well,that didn't happen. Nothing happened all morning,it never warmed up as much as they said,and in the early afternoon it started straight-up snowing and didn't stop till we have 3-4". Rod guys were off for the holiday or just because the day after Christmas is supposed to maybe bring snow. The roads were not prepped at all and once it started sticking to the road it got real slick. I made it home,finally,and had just fed the woodstove when my daughter called from just off the state hwy needing a rescue. You could drive 100 miles just fine,but when you drop into my valley it's another story. It's big hills down to get in and big hills up to get out,any way you go.Then,we are the last to see a plow. She had started down the hill and realized she would end up sliding all the way down the hill in here Beetle conv. There were cars all over the place,ahead of her,behind,and on the uphill side. It's a 5spd and I tried to take it down a bit to a driveway. That went pretty well,so I got it down the hill and walked back up to my truck. What a mess!
So,here's my '72 in a short video:

We moved to Southeast Missouri in the summer of 1996 and have had plenty of chances to drive in the snow. It can be challenging at times, but fun. Since we moved here we have had snow, floods and ice storms.

Quite a few years ago we had an ice store that caused our power to be out for 9 days, that was a real experience.

These old trucks holds their own on snowy and icy roads.

Re: Pics of your truck in the snow

I love driving in it. I think one big difference is between snow in the slow paced country and snow in hustle bustle city. It just makes things pretty and inside more cozy by the woodstove.
