Well yesterday we got a good snow sotrm. Nothing like NY but I would say we have 10-12" with alot of drifts around 2ft+. These are some pics from today. County was declared a snow emergency, emergency travel only.

 

It wouldnt be so bad but it is so windy which is killing my eyes I am out there with my head almost all wrapped up.

We have 10" here in northern Kansas and it is drifting pretty bad. To make it worse the road graders seem to like pushing all of the snow in front of my driveway. Makes no sense to me since I am the only one of the street, but oh well atleast they are out doing their job.

plow went by me this morning and threw it half way into my driveway.

 

Just looked out back and had almost a 4 ft snow drift against the house/patio door. Not fun shoveling

And here I thought this 56 degree sunny weather was bad here in NC. :)

 

Well for some you can at least get some sled time in.

 

Everyone in the snow stay safe.

We're getting snow today here in Ottawa, about 5inches but with all the wind, well it piles up. But in the end, not a whole lot at all.

 

Toronto and the surrounding area got hit much harder, much like NY.

15" here from what the neighbor said the news showed. But the drifts...well I'll let the photos do the talking. Photo 1 is down the street where the drifts were 3/4 the height of the front doors. Photo 2 is the front of the house with the drifting and my efforts to deal with some of it. Photo 3 is looking East from my driveway.

I hope you all up north are doing ok. I have heard that parts of NY got over 10' of snow in the last week. Hope you all dig out before July 4th. Looks like our four weeks of winter will be coming to an end next week. By early March we are all thinking about golf and outdoor gatherings again..... :)

reminds me of christmas...went to colorado springs to visit my fiancees sister and brother-in-law. got snowed in on one of the many blizzards they have had. Here are some pics from Clayton, NM and Dalhart, Tx. Yes, the snow is half way up the light poles, and some drifts go to the top of buildings.

      I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.

      OCI, not when but why?

      @Grumpy Bear the conclusion from your post about doubling engine life has me curious. Are we literally talking an expected life of 250,000 miles potentially becomes 500,000 miles with a step up in filtration for fresh oil at "the oil factory" when it's bottled? I know you said that's a single variable among many, but, that's significant if the implication extends that far into a real world use case. I would think the oil marketing folks would really eat that up and make it known.   Particles introduced during oil change is a fairly easy one to avoid, but probably not intuitive as one would think. I.e. using a clean funnel. But...what was it wiped with? Paper towel leaves behind little fibers. A solvent if not dried is not something one would want to introduce into their engine with clean oil. And, keeping the oil filler neck clean and free of buildup.. Look at some guys engine bays and they're an absolute mess. Some say that's better than the drawbacks of cleaning it. I'm not a buyer of that idea.   I've also wondered if "flooding" the top end of the engine with oil while filling is a bad idea. During normal lubrication the oil flows in a gutter back into the galleys. But if you flood the area you're potentially washing the top of the rockers, springs, and other areas which may not get much oil wash normally, and you're mixing all that into the new oil. I just don't have the patience to pour slowly. 😆

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      It was a bad pump, i had a dealer next day the pump. Gm part #86591535. Tools needed 10mm socket, pliers for hose clamps, 1/2gal of Dexcool. About 30mins to remove and install, pump located near oil filter on driver's side frame rail. I had a local mobile mechanic delete the code, he had a snap on scan tool. My scanner could not delete the code. I drove back home about 700 miles since then, and no check engine light. Hope this helps someone in the future in the same situation i was in. Thank you to all that helped me.

      Hi Gary, I guess it all boils down to personal preference and what you can afford. I, personally, buy new because I will know from day one how the vehicle is maintained and driven.
