Trailblazer Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I agree JG, my '96 Tundra has just that! A .500 lug and I boondock in the woods with that sled in any snow depth given to me, always spotting my path between the trees ahead (between the ears)....keeping in mind I am towing a trail tobogan with 300lbs of kids in it and it's very rare that little Tundra gets stuck. It blows my mind how well this thing travels through the snow even in tow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 1 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 JG way TOO much snow in NY. South of Buffalo there is talk of 8 - 9 FEET till it's over. The pictures look like no fun at all. Worse they are calling for 50 - 60* and rain early next week, say a prayer for those folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Too much snow in Buffalo leads to some great ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snownyet Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) One of the biggest issues that us people in the Buffalo area have is the ground was still very warm and the bottom foot fo this stuff is slushy and super difficult to move. To make matters worse, a new lake effect snow warning was just issued for tonight through friday, and the weather man says it wil be an extremely intense band, but not as fixed in one area like the last shot of snow. 10-20 new inches. I actually dont mind the snow, bit Im sick and tired of the non stop media coverage of it. Its western NY, we get snow and sometimes lots of it. Lets move on to a new story.
