Spring has sprung here on Long Island!ย We got about 18" last night.ย I started digging out at 6:30 am. took 2 hours.ย Only got plowed back in 3 times by the town plow. Like the truck Blu ๐ one drove past me here in UK recently....made my mitsubishi feel small ๐ one advantage mine has tho, I can engage 4x4 anytime so long as under 60mph, useful when you suddenly realise the road is not as grippy as you thought! Your snowfall amounts exceed ours too!

Your snowfall amounts exceed ours too! Thanks Acid! I can shift to 4x4 on the fly too. I'm not sure how fast I'm allowed to do it at though. I do it over 40mph all the time. I had a '97 and put 250k on it. It was a great truck but it's nice having all the new tech this one has and the MPG is much better.

This being a college town, there are a lot of mini coopers around here. Remind me of a self-propelled coffin.

I think the video you saw might have been shifting into 4x4 LOW RANGE. Low range requires going into neutral. 4x4 High Range (normal driving) is shift on the fly. I checked the manual and there is no speed restriction but if one decides they need 4 wheel drive at 70 they might be overdriving the conditions๐

The phrase "boys' toys" comes to mind ..... I have no reason to own anything like that nowadays ..... just jealous. Getting back slightly nearer to the theme:

Super Rare March North African Snow, Southern Spain Snow, French Beaches Snow
This Adapt 2030 video has some good images of the near-current snows, rains and dust storms across the south Med and into Africa. Some good maps as well. He's gloating a bit (lot) and talking up the "end game" grand solar minimum. After listening to Al and his guys all these years, I think we should be able to filter out the apocalypse and evaluate where the middle might be. Need more analogs I guess. If I have to take my snow suit to Europe, it's gonna be REAL disappointing.

Looks like a three low court press. Not normal. It's climate change, Missouri. Nothing like this has ever happened to Australia before .... trust me.
