    It's was -1 when I woke up this morning and we'll be hitting a high of 22 today. We got almost a foot of snow over the weekend, and more is supposed to be coming today. The roads are in TERRIBLE shape right now, but luckily everyone is driving very slowly and giving each other a lot of room for braking.

    The snow sucks on the roads but it was SWEEEEEEET on the mountain yesterday. Nothing like 18 inches of fresh, light, dry Colorado powder. Who's up for a few runs?

    Looks like Moab is a little chilly and snow is in the forecast.

    I'm a bit nervous because I only have my driver side CV installed. I am pretty sure my one axle will not help me since I have no locker.

    I think you will be ok. I only dropped into 4x4 once and it was just cause I felt like it. I haven't really needed yet.

    LOL, yeah, it's absolutely horrible there. It can easily take hours just to go across town, depending on how bad it is. And throw in some winter weather, for get about getting anywhere in a timely manner.

    Jack, I think I'm going to stick close to home because the roads are terrible right now, but I do need to board the Front Range sometime soon.

    Darrin,

    I heard that they opened up a lot of new terrain in T-ride so I can't wait to get out there, and it sounds like they got a lot of snow this past weekend too. I have an air matress that you are always welcome to so come on out.

    It was in the Fifties in Erie, PA region today but dropped to 25 tonight with high of 30 tomorrow. bouncy, bouncy, bouncy temps.

    Had to drive my VX to work as my Ram was getting rear drums/brakes/inspection & I had to go into work early.

    Got my 2" spacers from Independent4X.com today...(for intermediate lift hopefully preceding permanent lift)...still working on getting diff drop brackets....

    Hooked on paperbacks titled after the "Mass Effect" video game....can't puttem down! "Mass Effect Revelation"....."Mass Effect Ascention"

    Thank God for my X-Box 360!!!

    ME!!! ME!!! ME!!! ME!!! ME!!!

    Our ski house (rental) in VT is still without power since last week's ice storm, so I don't know if we can make it up there this weekend at all.

    I got a brand new Burton Supermodel in the basement crying for snow. And we're trying to plan out a ski trip for February - Steamboat maybe... a direct flight from NYC is like $270 right now.

    VehiGAZ, get out here NOW. We've been getting hammered by snow and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. We had a little break today, but it's supposed to start snowing again tonight, and it's not supposed to let up until after the weekend some time. I don't know how Steamboat is fairing, but it's all good in the Aspen valley.
