jisleyjr Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Freeze rain is no joke, especially if the winds picks up. It'll snap over telephone poles like they are tiny sticks. I assume your utility companies have at least trimmed away trees around power lines in case a branch snaps off so it doesn't kill power for the whole block? I have a lifted Hummer, I tow the kids up and down the street on there sleds, I know it sounds white trash but they love it. It's only white trash if you use an extension cord because you couldn't find a rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sweet. Just don't get caught doing it..... big fines. Also make sure you know exactly where you towing.... have had a few bad curb, and manhole and sewer covers flipped up by plows. I ate a curb flew 6' and got stuck up to my waste in a snow bank. If it would have been hard packed snow or ice I would have broke my legs and pelvice. Best we have done is being towed at just over 50. We have pulled a batman power wheels car with my driving to 40. They handle really well (and you have to remove the motors to really get them to roll) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edde Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 We got between 6 and 8 last night. Now it's raining a really fine mist which is weighting the snow. Later it's supposed to freeze, get windy, and snow again. Should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidjc Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have 15 inches as of now (same storm) & already still had snow on the ground from the previous snows. (the end of the storm still to follow w/ a couple more inches to come) Just tried to get my front door open (nope, my have to remove the storm door from inside & dig out... did that some years ago w/ the big 40" drop over a weeks time) It has snowed some dozen or so times this year; w/ a few causing closings, & I'm tired of shoveling for sure! Good luck & safety to all who are experiencing this winters wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
