Checked out that link and all your pics, T. That is so cool. You have a good gig. Hard work it looks like, back breaking, especially your wife's duties.
I'm with Jim Layne as far as snow, except it does snow more frequent here than it does in Southern CA. I actually have a running, lifer, bet with my wife. Every time I tell her it's gonna snow tonight she doubts me, and if it snows, she's going to have to fry chicken. We never have fried chicken, so it would be a treat.
When it does snow, 4" max where I'm at at 2,000 ft. Above sea level. Melts off in a couple days. Just enough to look pretty. What I've always wondered, is why, just before it starts to come down, does it get so quiet. No birds chirping, geese honking or flying around, just dead quiet. Then it starts to flake down. Weird

It's a well known phenomenon. It has to do with fairly sudden changes in the atmosphere. Pressure dropping, temp rising (yes, forming snow gives off a lot of heat), and often a stillness as the wind is changing from south to north. Animals feel it, and take shelter. Usually they are coming off a period of furious feeding activity, filling the tank so to speak for the event.

Just before a snow event, my bird feeders will empty at about twice normal rate.

No I have not had any discoloring, or white "gunk" forming on my Fluidampr....just dirt and grime from the road passing through.

I think he means the blue tarped stuff behind the fence. Kinda looks like a porta potty

Baaaaam solid day in the shop! Removed/resealed/replaced gear cover, replaced supply and return lines for power steering, and replaced both rear wheel cylinders. Just need to find a helper to get brakes bled and I'll be good to go for driving to work Monday.

On a side note, I noticed ice gone 12k miles since my last oil change. Not sure how that happened. Oil change and fuel filter going in tomorrow.

Ahh... Now I get it.....

A Few More Snow Pix

Look at you doing your civic duty and clearing the sidewalk....atta boy! We get a few inches here and no one clears anything. My neighbour and I go up and down the street clearing the sidewalks with our shovels.

Nice pics...Thanks for sharing them again!

Built an angle iron bracket for a pair of 12" electric fans I'm going to be tossing on the crewcab. I'm planning on only running the electric fans through the fall/winter and early spring. Still have to pull the fan and shroud so I can make some brackets to mount it the same way as the stock shroud.

Been there, done that with needing someone to help with bleeding brakes. Look up BLEEDING BRAKES SOLO on youtube. The two-man-method is best but, this will work in a pinch.

I've been using an old plastic water bottle, and a chunk of old vacuum hose to bleed brakes by myself for probably close to 10 years now...never had a problem.
