Soukus, it's snowing!
 
We got 9 inches of snow here. Spent the morning plowing out the drive with the plow on the atv. I'm getting pretty darn good at it.

Oh snap! 9" ... I hope it isn't headed my way...I can't take anymore of this winter crap. We're suppose to be in the single digits tomorrow. I'm off work...so I HAVE to do stuff around the house to keep the wife happy.

BTW, I got one of the Contico boxes..just have to mount it and fill it with salt. I could have used the salt the last couple of days...high centered the BMW on the snow bank along my driveway one morning trying to rush one fo the kids to school.

Happy plowing! :)

Just checked the radar...and it's moving east..but all south of us. So no plowing for me this weekend.

The way I mounted mine was using 4 1/4"x2" bolts. I centered the box and then drilled through the bottom of the box and then right through the rails. Inside the box I used a 1" rubber washer that fit tight around the bolt (to keep any chance of water from entering the box) and then a 1" washer on top of that. Under the rail where the bolt passed through I used a 1" washer and a lock nut.

I like that. I was going to get small u-bolts, but four holes through the rack isn't going to hurt it. That'll be much easier.

We flew over this crap yesterday on the way from NYC to Omaha and Vegas. You guys are in for a lot of the white stuff so stock up!

Gotta get back on the track to sharpen those car control skillz! ;)

:p Let's just say I was beyond the limits of friction and grip at the time. Even with the spendy Blizzaks, a 3800 lbs mass on an ice covered hill is a slave to Phyics...but yes, my driving skillz are rather dull. :(

We got 2-3 inches here.

And I broke the handle on my snowblower the last time I used it...so I had to weld it back together before I could use it.

I'm disappointed in you. You didn't measure the µ-ice and µ-tirebefore you hit the road? :D
