    hmm

    The work van went 5 feet , I was lucky to get it back where it started. Not much to look forward to though , check the road pic , lol. 6 inches of compressed , frozen slop.

    one of those days

    seriously. That drift's about 4' high. Had about 14" of snow, with lots o drifting. 25 minute trip from where I was working turned into 2hrs 15min!

    They sure were glad to have the icemelt fixed just in time for this one.

    Thats one of our...*~/:)

    "Don't You Hate That When"....you get stuck in your Own Driveway:)

    man, nobody wants to share That,... i guarantee you :)

    listen, get two bags of sand and lay them over the axel inside the van,pickemup, car..and then it will go:) plus it will help keep you on the road when you are driving...

    not shown...

    ...is the Dodge Ram 2500 parked to the side ( thats the tracks that leave the driveway ). I have a ton of crap in the van , good tires , etc. It will move 5 feet or so.

    So , I can clear the driveway and get to the road , then what ( I had to be careful even in 4wd...strange ice mixture on the ground ).

    And most important...I have plenty of Makers Mark , Marlboro lights , and no. 2 fuel oil...the " van won't go ".

    wifey's Liberty...

    that thing will go anywhere...I'll throw some tools in that and roll. The only Chrysler product " stuck " right now is the 1967 Hemi Coronet 440 in the garage ( behind the Chevy Van , LOL ).

    My '87 chevy van

    Was the best one in the snow, but didn't like to do quick manuvers. Hey Freak, bet you're like me right now..itching to get the old metal out on the road. Mine is '72 Cutlass ragtop.

    Update

    This morning the ice was strong enough to support the van , no problem getting out at all. Now my only problem is getting back in.

    My daughters " push hooptie " would be the better choice LOL.

    The Coronet is a life project...it's where I pile soft things like Armaflex insulation and such .
