2009 Snowstorm

Hello fellow Colorado FJ'ers

Just want to wish all of you some safe and fun driving with all the white gold we're getting today in CO...

I'm working from home today, but hoping to get out in my new rig (with the handycam and Nikon) to see what she can do...

If anyone has pics to share, post them here. I hope to get some later today!

Safe travels!

Re: 2009 Snowstorm

This is from yesterday...another foot or so has fallen since then. We have probably 20" on the ground now and the snow is still falling! Just drove up to Wadsworth/Bowles to buy a snowblower. The FJ does much better than the Subaru I traded in, and I doubt the snowblower would have fit in the back. No problems with the FJ!

Re: 2009 Snowstorm

Sorry for the bad picture quality. This is my FJ on Wednesday night. I have been finding excuses to venture out into the snow these last two days. Good times!

Thanks! I used a Nikon D50 DSLR and Photoshop to color correct. Great output! It's my 2nd favorite toy!

The FJ is very photogenic too, so that helps.

Re: 2009 Snowstorm

On my way home from the store yesterday evening, I saw a pickup with trailer stuck in a ditch. I stopped to check on him, and offered to pull him out.
He said that he had a friend with a Jeep on the way. I asked 'how long?", and he said 'hopefully just 10 minutes, but if you want to get me out now, that's cool'.

I was turning around to get into position, and there came his Jeep friend. So, I just bailed....he said he'd be fine.

Man!! I've been scouring the ditches for folks to help, but it's just not happening as much yet this time around here. I usually help out at least one person per day during snow storms like this.

Oh well, I suppose we'll have more snow :P

I do have some photos from the past couple days, but nothing real exciting.

Re: 2009 Snowstorm

I was wheeling up on Grand Mesa during that storm. There was almost 2 ft on the ground but it was coming down so hard and fast it looked to be 10 ft very soon! Temp was only 12 degrees and I was running my defroster on high when my already craked windshield poped and a major crack ran all the way across. Had to replace it soon after.
