Used the Leaf blower backpack to get most of it off the parking lanes, then pushed the rest over to the side.
Cleared 3/4" of snow today.
Man, I just didn't know if the old brick had enough umph to do it .....
More heading in tonight into tomorrow. Tis the season... sort of.

Drove my new first gen home.
'86 Ramcharger 4X4 with 4" suspension lift. Brand new 360 crate motor with headers and not a spot of rust on her.
Gunna have to freshen up the front end and undo some "upgrades" the P.O. did to the interior but it's in crazy good shape.

I got some time to fix up the cross member from the carp show of a NV-4500 swap using the Advanced Adapters parts on my black crew cab.
We moved the crossmember back one hole on the frame and straightened out some of the stuff from when we swapped out the 727 5 or so years ago. I am still using that rinky dink 2x2 transmission spacer block they [A.A] supplied with the kit, though.
With a bit of luck there is enough spare time in the shop left this winter to get the black crew back out on the road this summer.

I used to be able to post photos up here but I can't anymore. I guess I need to take a computer class at the community college or something.

If you use the quick reply, you will see a little icon of a mountain on top, right next to the emoji icon. Click on that and you can post up pics. I had the same problem, the manage attachment feature seems to not work anymore...Mark

They are calling for 10-15 inches of snow later this afternoon and through the tonight. Followed by more the next two days.
Looks like the W-350 plow truck will be doing its thing some more.
I hope you get some of this storm down in NJ too T-man, as you have had a basically snowless winter so far.
But... before plowing, I have some snowboard racing to do this morning.

I envy you Oliver, I was a life time skier, but took up snow boarding in the 90's and quickly became an ex-skier. Unfortunately, a shoulder replacement made me an ex-snowboarder too...Mark

I went out to wash and wax my truck, but the weather is being uncooperative.

It came with the original bumpers. I'll put them back on until I can build something proper.

I made it from free scrap during my lunch breaks at work. It took me forever.
