Tippy.. here’s coming at you kid..!Just washed and waxed and shined tires and rims.

Merica’!

Nice! 4th Gen's still holding strong. That pic the other day was of one I saw in Germany (wasn't actually mine), looked like it hadn't moved in years. Below is my actual truck.

But on the weather map, looks like some good showers about to move through. Glad the hike up Little Wachusett was earlier. Not much of a view, but no one else around, which is the goal.

I bought some Chinese ones on Amazon. Risky or you think I'll be ok? @AstronomyEnjoyer

Wow. That's the most I've seen for cost.

Yeah, but not having to do it every year is nice. There's NH oil undercoat, but that makes a mess I heard, and then fluid film which is DIY.... But I'm not so sure how well that holds up

I thought some of the automakers were doing that when they build a vehicle.

Some do it as an add on. Some just dip the frame in wax. Some dealers will do it prior to sale ..... 

But these guys sprayed literally everything underneath. Mine really had nothing.

It is nice…that just looks to good for the type of weather we’ve had the last couple of weeks though…find it hard to believe they have that type of snow currently?  Looks suspect to me. 

They got a lot Sunday. Plus it's at like 1600+ elevation 

@Cold MiserNew England Undercoat in leominster. was a thousand bucks but it lasts a very long time, typically only needs touch ups every few years. noxudol wax. Still looks cherry 2 years later. 

RE: pick up truck undercoating

Was just looking back on this day in 2018. Snow galore. 

Once you own a pick-up, you'll never go back. So handy for so many things for anyone who owns a home. 

Undercoat and frequent washing help prevent corrosion

I will be the first to admit that I absolutely love the snow and winter. But I will say I'm a fan of every other season too. It just so happens that winter is my most loved ( and trust me, I'm alone in my house when it comes to that as my husband, my daughter, and my mother-in-law all are not a fan of winter, but my daughter does love a good snow storm. Lol ) 

If We could have a solid December through March of winter, cold and snow. I'd be all for it. But once March is done, I'm ready for spring and heading into winter. Each season leads us into the next which gets us ready for when we come to winter again.

That's just my take on the whole thing.

The shoulder seasons are just way too long now. Summer and winter take forever to get started. Summer is HHH but only for nighttime lows. Days aren't that warm and typically are cloudy and rainy.

This weather stinks

Too warm

Bring on cold and snow all year

Couldn't you move anywhere in New York and keep your pension? Tell KSLK you're on the way.

So was I. Crazy.

Also, the wind can go away now. Getting annoying.

We are long over due for a 2-3 week stretch of dry weather; who knows when that will come?!?

We could be in a new normal, so not guaranteed

Radar exploding. Here comes 2-4” and HRRR win 

Just Srain+ here, 33 deg.... Just Missing that few degrees we have been all winter 

I mean if they're strapped down appropriately, and don't exceed any height restrictions... Meh. Looks very top heavy though. Take corners slow lol. 

Man.... If this week was snow, people would be thinking there's an infection causing pants tents throughout New England.

There is a pond near me where they had the annual ice fishing tournament 9 days ago that is now 100% ice free

Comet?

Thur night hydro concerns have been suggestive for days at this point.  imho - I posted about awhile back. 

The flood-wick was certainly priming since last summer's rain anomalies.  Then a lack of substantive drying since.  

 

Maybe you'll finally see more of those silt layers deposited in Ayer, that showed up in the borings you were talking about. 

I wouldn't mind if we get a few smokers like we did last warm season. At least it was interesting, and nice sunsets.

It’s time 

But it's going to snow in a week

Still plenty of ice out there in North ORH! Measured 7" today of clear ice.
