My truck did not like being woke up this morning, then the power steering complained for a few minutes after!  :-\

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)

Take it up there and just have fun in it...

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.
