so, everyone home

Got about 2 feet here in Broomfield/westminster. 120th was one lane, weaving around abandoned cars, totally fun. Other side streets are totally plowed and clear, while others are untouched. So you have to pick your route carefully, getting harder and harder to find the unplowed streets out here in the city.

Poser shot.

I haven't bothered to take the 45 out (yet), but was driving the 40 around last night. You can see the tire tracks from last night, but they're buried pretty good, and it's still coming down!

We have some 24-30" with lots of drifting.

I fired up my '84 GMC plow truck last night to plow our private road and while plowing along, the engine threw a rod through the oil pan. It also looks like a piston pin (or something like it) is coming through the timing cover. I think I won't get a core value on this one. I had good oil pressure and got zero warning of this major trucknage.

I towed it home with my '98 4Runner, which wasn't real happy about getting 6000# of frozen GMC moving. When the strap went tight, it felt like I drove into a wall. I had to drag it back to my house,and now I can watch it sit as the snow continues to fall.

Unless I can find a nice early '80s 350 longblock or complete engine soon, I may move the plow to a buddy's '79 F350. On top of my other 67 projects to do.
