Wow, here in the lowlands (Seattle and surrounding areas) I've seen snow once this season. It was forecasted for Christmas, but it keeps getting pushed back, now till the 31st.

I keep hoping that's the only snow we'll get this season too! Don't want to put my snow tires on my metro because I can't find any decent 13" rims with a 114.3x4 bolt pattern so I have to use the same wheels my regular all seasons are on and that cost me nearly $100 last winter just to swap them over!

About 6" has fallen so far. It's starting to snow again, and the strom is supposed to intensify later today and tonight.
That's a '95 Legacy under there somewhere.

Well, I was excited about this storm...but that ended fast. I spent 10-12 hours moving snow and my car is still behind about 3ft deep snow 20 ft away from the snow blown part of my drive way. Thanks god for my truck!

You need a skid-steer up there, lol. I want a 773 turbo high-flow. They still fit in the average garage door.

Yeah, I'll be bringing home the S185 Bobcat home from work as soon as the roads are good enough to pull a trailer. Or maybe the 410j Backhoe haha
