Any wind?

Its a blizzard condition because of the wind, visibility, snow, cold temps. You dont have to have a ton of snow to be a blizzard.

Yeah we get wind too. Not to much the other night but normally we get the snow one day/night and then the next day/night the wind hits and blows everything all around. Thats when we get the drifts and stuff. But everyone is used to the snow and stuff around here.

2 years ago we got 10 feet in a week. It made national news and schools were only closed 3 days that week. LOL Here are some pics.



That wasn't all of it I don't think. That was like mid week. But I think the last classified 'blizzard' we had was '95 or '98.

housing is out of a 76 F150, outters are from a 77-77.5 Ford F250 HighBoy

I had to machine the F250 knuckles down to put the high steer on them

no i did the 76 F150 housing because it was cleaner and open for more room than the D44 housing that was on the F250.

Very nice. Hopefully I'll see it at the next years Silver Lake meet. Or Cracker Barrel before that.
