I remember days like that growing up in Bend OR. Sort of glad I moved to Tacoma area. At least when we get snow the place shuts down, but I learned to drive in the snow along time ago.

We've got about 4 inches so far but the big storm hasn't made it here yet.
How's Rick doing? Got mucus?

The drifts in the back yard are 4 feet deep.
The official snow total is 12 inches in the OKC area. Tonight will be the coldest night in 15 years.

Got a wood stove Glen?
Nothing heats better than a good old wood stove.

Nope. No wood stove. The fireplace is just natural gas.
I would have to argue that nothing heats better than natural gas central heat. As long as the electricity stays on

The Stick

Around noon went out in the Rover. Deep snow. Non-eventful cruise around town. Almost nothing was open. Even snow routes only had one lane semi-cleared and those would high center a medium sized dog. News was showing a lot of people in trucks and SUVs getting stuck. Looked like 2 wheel drive to me.
Stopped in a parking lot that a guy in a pickup with snow blade was clearing. It had some 3-4 foot drifts. Asked if he would get me out if I got stuck playing, he said to have fun. Rover just plowed through with no problems. Pretty happy with my $800 snow truck. The heated windscreen even worked well on all the blowing snow.
