We call that a light dusting.
2 feet+ overnight requires some attention.

Good grief man! Thats hot!! I remember the vegas, kind of like the Astre, we used to call them ash-trays.
Research Cosworth Vegas, they were fast little 4 cylinders back in the day. It was a fun car to drive. I delivered it out to LA from NW Indiana back when the speed limit was 55
Post by: AZ87V10 on February 18, 2016, 04:08:45 pm
Never been, but they say its a dry heat, you dont even feel it. Lol
That's the joke we say here in Arizona about the dry desert heat in Phoenix! Lol!
For it being the middle of February, it's been in the mid 60's here the last week! Most of our snow has melted away and Phoenix seems to be setting new record high temperatures on a daily basis! They're calling for 90 down there before long!
Post by: bd on February 18, 2016, 04:44:02 pm
I drove through death valley on July 4th weekend 1987 in a black Cosworth Vega (no AC) we had to roll up the windows because it felt like a hair dryer on high was blowing in on us...
May 2009 (last time I was there - lol), 112° F before 9:00 AM. At least I had the good sense to head elsewhere before my brain boiled. :o

A friend just got back from the phillippines, said it was so hot, you have to hurry along when your outdoors, like people do when it pouring out. Hard to breath, 100 degrees, 100% humidity. Nasty stuff.

60's today, not one flake of snow left, all ponds lakes are all water. Looks like winter is dead! Amen.
I have mixed feelings on this one. I'm certainly looking forward to springtime, but I wouldn't mind another snow storm so I could play around with my plow truck.

My next project is to get my 81' step side running. Unfortunately with the lift kit and 35" tires it won't clear the garage door.

I intentionally got a sunburn fishing in the backyard the other day just to remind myself how glad I am to be more swing the new England winter.It might be that time.Thanks.Time for a new garage!!!

At the very least this garage might get some 9' high doors installed.
I'll start a new thread on suggestions for garages to keep this thread on track, which is dealing with snowy weather.

When I built my new house and shop I put 8 ft doors. When I've got something going on in the shop I can put the k5 in the house garage.

How dare you suggest something so low!
I've already lowered this truck once.
Back in its glory days this truck had a 12" lift with 44" Super Swampers.
About 7 years ago removed the big lift and installed a 4" lift with 35" tires. That project involved changing the axles (I went from 5.13 gears to 4.11's, transfer case (it had a divorced Rockwell in it), and having the driveshafts reworked.
The truck was a daily driver for a short time untill I blew up the SB 400 with Tuned Port Injection.
About the same time I started playing around with the Military CUCV's (Uncle Sam's version of our trucks). I got into the CUCV's big time and have owned 17 of them in the last 7 years.
This step side has been sitting inside at my friends work building since the day the motor blew up 6 years ago.
Hopefully this is the year I get this truck back on the road.

If this isn't the year, just let me know and I will surely make one more trip up to the great North and relieve you of the aganoy
Thanks for the offer. Its been sitting out of harms way and kinda been forgotten about. Hopefully this is its lucky year.
