We started the weekend like this.


I almost ended the weekend like this.


lost control on the freeway, missed the gaurd rail and put her in the ditch. If you notice the lack of tire marks in the snow by the left tires, that's because both the truck and the trailer we were leaning. I almost flipped it, I was convinced it was gonna go over, that second when it was in the air seemed like a day, got her back on all 6 tires. I had to get winched out. All was good and we finished the 100 mile trip home, only took us 5 hours.

 

Nice. That could have been much worse for sure.

 

Wow that's scary for sure. Glad you and the truck are alright.

 

lol snow

 

f*ck you! We currently have 15 inches on the ground, and its still snowing. I hate this crap, as soon as I graduate, Im heading south.

 

You put a new meaning to the ranger lean lol. Is that on 29?

 

lol hurricanes.

 

Close one there. Glad you made it out with no damage.

 

I was on US-51, 2 miles north of 29.

 

hahahaha that sucks. I'm on my way to Miami and its in the 70's and sunny

lol haven't had one in like 4 years. the last really bad one we had took out a tree we didn't like and that's about it. so I'll stick with saying lol snow.

 

Measuring from your tire there's like...6 inches of snow tops. You need to stop having girls measuring your snow depth. 6 inches looks like a foot to them.

 

I read reports that said over a foot, but it sure doesn't look like it there.

Same stupid thing happens here though, people report to the NWS that there is like 6" or more, some even send pictures with a ruler stuck to the ground. But most of them are in snow "drifts" if you want to call 6" a drift. I walk out to the flat open field behind my house and measure something like 2" normally, and half of it is floating on top of the grass. lol

 

Those picture were taken at 3 pm on the very edge of the storm. When I finally made it home last night at 830 we had 15".

 

Take a picture right nao of the 15 inches then. With a tape measure. It's morning and im cranky and will not be satisfied until there's is proof.


And Brian I understand what ya mean.

 

You were lucky for sure! The trailer didn't swing around and hit the truck or anything?

 

Luckly it didnt, everything stayed nice and straight. For going into the ditch I cant think of anyway that it could have gone better. No damage and no injuries.

The wrecker was an awesome guy too. Only cost me $40 in cash, pretty sure he pocketed it. When I pulled out my clevis and put it in the front hitch he was amazed.

 

Aaron how much snow do u have up there in Alaska right now?

 

Not too much, 6 inches maybe. Our temp is fluctuating 40 degrees to 0 degrees so we get a lot of snow that melts pretty quickly....

But previous winters we've set world records....let me see if i can find a pic

This is in June...


August...was somewhere around 40 feet tall at this point..






Yah Matt, possible hijacking

 

40 is a great deal. Buddy of mine drove his Acura TL off the road a few months back, on his way from Denver to L.A. Long story short, there was an accident on the road there already, which is why he had to avoid the accident and drive off into the shoulder. Tow trucks were already on the scene, but the ******* still had to charge him 175 to pull him out.
