well I just talked to a few people here..Amber Valley Parkway is shut down just past the Amber Valley apartments east entrance. There are at least 6 vehicles that have been abandoned in that area. I just spent a few minutes talking to a couple of people who stopped here to warm up - one that ended up stranded and one that got pulled into Pracs. Also talked to a guy in a crew cab Chevy 4WD and he ended up parking his truck in our lawn because he can't get back to the twinhomes.
Its bad.
The one chick said she called 911 in hopes they could somehow come get people out but they've got no options available. Sounds like the plows have tried to get down AVP but can't right now.
Wonder if the ranger is still stuck out in front of your place...
Ranger is still out there, not even trying to get out. A blade is out there barely moving.

Thought about getting the Tahoe out and going to pull that damn ranger out so they can clean the damn driveways.

ill come get you sallies out, where you at.I'm not even sure you'd made it..
On that note - I do sure wish I had put 33s on the Tahoe already. Sure help (although I'd still never get through this).Also wish I had a big winch.. but alas, wish in one hand...

so, to pour another glass or to not pour another glass....
Eventually the jag is going to overtake the red bull and I'm going to crash hard.
I almost felt bad when I was talking to the people that got stranded. I'm standing there in the hallway wearing shorts and flipflops drinking a cold mixed drink and these poor bastards are shaking uncontrollably. I thought about inviting them in but I didn't want to get raped tonight.

A city motor grater drove down my street earlier this morning with the blade down, so the street is actually ok.
2 dudes were walking down the middle of the street because it was empty and the sidewalks are totally blended into the yards.. there's not even a dip where the shovelled sidewalks used to be. It's normally a busy street but I've seen maybe 5 vehicles driving down it all day.
My wife hit the grocery store yesterday to make sure we'd be fed this weekend. It's pajama day at our place.
If the drifts freeze solid some people will be in bad shape. My Audi is pretty good in the snow but its a bit short on ground clearance and too much plastic for me to want to "go plowing" in it.

I'm glad I didnt try to go back home this weekend... I can barely see my car in the driveway... Our yard suprisingly has like no snow it it, it's all in the neighbors yard in the form of a 5-6ft drift... It's so windy my roomates bmw has snow inside it (and all the seals are just fine)... we also have drifts inside the garage...
I sure wish I had this for a winter beater:

I laugh at people who think that you have to have a 4x4 truck to even get to the corner gas station in the winter.
