Wife drove like a champ. She's pretty good in the snow. The Blazer just doesn't have the mass that my truck does to keep plowing. I hit the stuff pretty hard, and it pulled me to a stop. Fortunately, I was able to go forward and get another run at it. She wasn't so lucky. The first time I hit the drift I left a perfect CHEVEROLET in the snow from my tailgate. The second time I really hit it hard, and bounced across the street against the curb.
 
Dear Mother Nature,
You are not wanted here any more. You can take your sub-zero temperatures, and your snow, and your wind, and shove them.............. well, you get the idea.

We only got 5" in SF, but the wind.  Darn did it blow last night and it wasn't the good kind.  Had drifts 3'+ this morning.  Guess we will have to wait for the 3 sisters to clean this stuff up.  April, May & June.

That's about what we got too, but with the snow piled everywhere,and whe wind blowing what we already had, it got pretty ugly in a hurry. I think we had it worse than when we got 20". At least then we had somewhere to put it.

Pretty sure I'll be sending her your way.
 
Todays high -2. Wind chill, -28. Much better tomorrow though with a high of -6. Think I'll take the motorcycle to work.

No diesel here. All supercharged big block chevy power. That's what you use to pull out diesel powered dump trucks. Big Smile Hopefully, when I get a real job, it will be replaced with an Isuzu Duramax diesel.
Here's my next big white chevy.

Brother in laws co worker has a duramax running 1200hp.  He pulls it, had it built down in MO, and he uses it as a daily driver.  BIL said BS until the guy showed him the bills of what he spent, dyno print out etc.

can you imagine how much drive train improvements he must of had to do to keep a drive shaft or a rear end to stay together for more than 3 seconds. if you goosed the throttle with a stock setup with that kind of torque breaking the tires loose would be the last thing on your mind. thats nuts!!

Guy smoked my supercharged 454 with a D-max. I'm running about 480hp. I'm not sure what he was pushing, but he launced in 4wd, and I peddled it a bit in 2wd to keep from going up in smoke. That's pretty much where he got me. The new diesels are nothing to sneer at.

That is just it.  With all that power, everything needs to be built up to handle it.
