I'm in Fox, north of Fairbanks and we got dumped on with about 18" of wet snow. It is 20 above now so plowing with my wheeler is an option, unlike yesterday when the snow was just too wet and heavy and constantly coming down.
That was a pretty good dump, about like last April's surprise snowstorm. Hey I’m in fox right now.. I’m going to honk my horn let me know when you hear it..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

That was a pretty good dump, about like last April's surprise snowstorm. We might be neighbors. We live off of Quakenbush which is about 1 mile from Fox. It would be interesting if we live pretty darned close. Just got done with another volley of shovelling. Ya, we`re fairly close. I am right behind the Turtle Club. 79, did you honk? I couldn`t hear squat with my Justin Beiber CDs rok`n when I was plowing with my wheeler.

Bunch of power outages on the western KP last night from the wind. https://radiokenai.com/large-power-outage-effecting-many-on-the-central-peninsula/We lost power for a few hours. Saw a transformer just down the road a bit spark like a meteor three times. Then power went out. Back to below 0* by the weekend.

I can't wait for it to be below 0 again. This much snow, even if it is "warm" at 25 F or so is just a pain to do anything in.

Living in the valley- a new thing for me, I’m from Homer… I’ve noticed that most valley drivers are useless in these conditions.
In Homer, we just accept rain over ice as a normal type of weather. I have Nokian Hakkapelitta 9’s on my F-150, which based on the more than 20 different tire types for winter driving I’ve experienced, are the best. I’m driving like normal, but the other A-holes keep spinning out in front of me.
It was comical for awhile, but now it’s just downright annoying to be following a late model SUV driving 25 in a 45 and spinning out when they try to mash the accelerator at seemingly random time intervals.

LoadClear - I thought only Sterling DF's did that... I need to get some V-bar chains for the Expedition for going to our rec cabin off the end of Oil Well. Some interesting spots on that road, especially towing a 16 foot trailer full of snow gos, even with studs, but 300 pounds of sand bags in the back helps. Chains! Did use chains on the Ram once last year. I carry 300# of sand in Ram 3500, too, but no studs on that one. I do have a set of barely-fit (last link) regular ladder chains, which help a lot, but I think I'll get some V-bars for that "fair weather" truck.....  I have two sets of almost new, tho 20 years old, V-bars I need to get rid of, used once or twice on the old Expedition and on the Chev 3500 - they had 17? inch tires- and the chains won't fit on the current 18's. The current road conditions should help move them...

Winds have been crazy. The fence between us and the neighbor is now gone. There’s a Weather Underground station at the Elementary school that’s recorded a 100 mph gust earlier today we hanging pretty good at 70-85 mph gusts all day. Some planes at the Palmer airport got destroyed as well.

Yeah I’m just a little north of Palmer, and the wind has been horrible for the past two days- supposed to last a couple more. I was leaning on my garage door on the inside and felt the center heave in 2 inches or so.
My work truck, sitting on the parking pad next to the house has been blown almost 45 degrees sideways (no studs, very slick ice). I’m pretty much over this wind.

Wind is bad here in Wasilla. Power just went out. Pity the power company guys. They’re making good money but have to be out in this crap.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Well, I started my USAA claim. The fence is partially gone and my pellet grill but the dust. Also the furnace is acting up as well.
