Well oops. I knew we were getting snow last night/this morning but I didn't realize how much. In the end it was about 6/7 inches. I remembered to put up my windshield wipers but not park at the end of the driveway, so lots of shoveling was in order.

Macy first thing this morning...

There was lots of sand on my tires so she left some tireprints!

My back is now killing me, no more shoveling for me today. Almost got stuck in the breakfast places parking lot, the road down the street, and my driveway coming home.
 
I didn't get as much in Farmington as I expected... probably only a couple inches and the snow removal company is AMAZING.. The parking lot has a little bit of slush and that's it.
 
Slushhhhhhhhh! Is what we got here. Come to think of it, I don't believe I have ever had to clear snow off the 8.
 
We got a bit here.... Still not cleared as my place is cheap on snow removal. They just throw dirt on it.
 
I'm my own snow removal company..

Had the snowblower out for about 45 minutes, and ta-da! Clean driveway.
 
Back pain I'm guessing? Yea, been there too many times so I gave up on shoveling heavy snow. Great workout, but damn it hurts after.
 
yeah back pain, was pretty bad. i got into an accident a couple years ago so it always flares up.
 
I finally got to park mine inside while snowed. Fantastic.

Sorry about your back red.
 
i have to admit... I have literally been beating the crap out of my snowtires, worst part... I just don't care.
 
i dont have snows on my front...doubtful i'll get some before it stops snowing. there have been a few close calls about getting back up my hill in MA...
 
yeah...they're 225s though, too wide for the front for me. last year i had the 225s in the rear and 215 blizzaks in the front...paid $60 for all 4 tires nearly new from a friend who was gonna put the on his porsche...but it blew up lol. literally...fire and everything. it's backwards to some but the 225s won't do jackshit in the front.
 
Snow tires are an amazing invention. It's silly watching people skate around my parking lot which is a hilly loop. I go out, clear some snow from in front of my car, then just drive off like I'm on dry pavement. Amanda's got some pretty aggressive tread on her jeep but the A/T compound doesn't stick nearly as well as my snows.
 
Cold

(wow) boy is it cold...can't wait for spring man! like 2 at my house this AM
