Same here, 8" already and I had to drive home from Princeton in this mess. 2-4 more expected by morning, and of course I hacve to drive into Manhatten first thing then more tomorrow night and I have to drive into Manhatten Saturday as well. We still had 4 " on the ground from a few days ago but it still isnt like it was a few weeks ago when we got 2 feet overnight. Dad gummit! I am from the south, I am not used to this nasty cold white stuff. Its pretty to look at now and then and even play in a bit but I wish that when your done looking and playing it would just vanish and get warm again :-? I didnt get five miles out of Princeton before I saw a car in the ditch and many more along the way. I am packing so tow chains with me from now on and make so extra money pulling people out. :lol: :lol: Charge them half the price of a wrecker and save them some embarrassment too. Then again I just couldnt charge them, the way my luck is I would be stcuk the next week and someone would come along and charge me :shocked: :shocked: . But I am putting some chains in the back of the Jeep. These old wranglers can go about anywhere. I havent managed to get it stuck yet. :shocked: :lol: :P But thats a good thing so I dont have to plow my half mile driveway and it keeps people from coming to bug me :lol: :lol: :P The last big snow didnt keep me from getting out but it did make it impossible for the pizza delivery man to get up here. :roleeyes :roleeyes So I had to Plow it. I will wait until Sunday when I have a day off and its finished and break out the tractor again :whistle :roleeyes :lol: :P
