that's why Buffalo get hit so bad with snow.. It all comes off Lake Erie, and we're down wind of it so to speak.

We just came out of a bad cold snap here in town. They ended up shutting down all of the major highways around here, and the Mayor of Strathmore declared a state of emergency.
These pictures are of my dads car after it high centred in the middle of the road. the drifts appeared around the car over the span of 2 hours with heavy wind, and buried the passenger side. stuck on saturday, we had to wait until tuesday before a plow came within a kilometer of the car, and even then, they only cleared up to about 10 feet on either end. this stuff was packed so hard, my buddies step-dad got bored and drove his truck out onto a drift in their front yard. he left it there for a couple of hours and it didnt sink. it took 3 of us 2 and a half hours to dig and push it out. and that included about 20 or so minutes of hand digging the engine out.

We had a ton here, not so much now. Its been raining for the last couple of days.

The pic with the cop car in it was taken today, about 1 mile from my house.


The giant cruddy cell pic was just after dec 25th. I did my heater core, and came back to 16" of snow. My car was driving almost through the entire storm. Right after parking it I took that picture.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

My Bird gets to sit in the shop over the winter, the Cougar is outside by the barn, didn't get a pic of that.

I'll have a pic or two for you guys in a couple of days. Were going to go from 60 to 25 or so with a biggish storm. Don,t know how big it really will be though.
