I almost feel bad about saying that I'm doing OK here in southern California at 60 degrees  ;)
But i do have a question for you guys that are used to some snow, i have never taken my truck up to the mountains, i want to check out the snow sometime next week. Usually the truck doesn't like cold weather starts, is there something i have to adjust or have with me before going up to the mountain with the truck?? (its a 78 K20)

love all the pics.    for all you that aren't used to the snow, well, too bad!!!

we were outside cutting firewood since 8 this morning.    cold weather is the best to work in,  however, the truck is not a big fan of it!   saw 2* this morning, and when we finally went out to start cutting it was 10*.   absolutely perfect!   ;D ;D

My boy did have fun.  I did get a bit done before he came out though, digging out the vehicles and the driveway. I need Blazin's plow!

It is midnight, and believe it or not, snow is STILL coming down--almost 24 hrs after it began.  These storm bands keep appearing.
