first snow, first slide
coming home from work tonight (got our first snow here) and went into a 4-wheel slide down a small hill. bend at the bottom, with houses approaching. i stood on the brakes - the ABS went off <bap bap bap bap bap bap!!!> and finally got some grab. scary!
don't forget that AWD don't go on ice. be careful out there, folks! nevermind if you're in Florida, Texas, NZ, etc.......

What a bummer. We expected 6" today and got barely enough to cover the grass.
Got my Grand Wagoneer plow ready last night (I plow in style ), started up both the 5hp and 12hp blowers just for giggles, all for nuthin. And found out my skiing buddy damaged his knee wrestling with his 11 year old son. I guess I will be skiing alone on Friday. Winter is here finally! Matt
