Jes' call me Mr. Yee-haw, then, Bubba. I've got good tires with some firewood, 3 gallons of tuning pins/keyleads, 25# Richter anchor and my single stage snowblower in the back. If the going gets really rough, I put on chains. Haven't got stuck in >30 years. The way I see it, 4x4 drivers only get stuck further from paved roads, or any hope of recovery before spring w/o calling in a Chinook. ;-} Conrad Hoffsommer To: pianotech at ptg.org From: pwilliams4 at unlnotes.unl.edu Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 16:11:18 -0600 Subject: Re: [pianotech] snowbound I with my very controllable 4x4 went out just a bit out of town just to see during lunch break. Snow drifts are just nuts!! It's strange how just a couple inches of snow can make a road barely passable in just a couple hours....That's out in the corn, though, the main roads are fine. Drive slowly, use 4x4 if you got it. space space space between you and the dude in front of you and slow down! You'll be fine! Good luck all you folks east of me. Youre in for it! I just don't get the yee-haws in their 2 wheel drive pick-ups! The laws of physics just don't apply to them, I guess. Chevy Blazers, too! What's up with that??

The wind has really picked up to near white-out conditions here in town...er, I guess that would be village. I imagine it's white out on the country roads and highways.

Today and tomorrow's appointments will be rescheduled. I've been proof reading the Journal and now I'm going to do some work in my shop. At one time they were predicting accumulations of 2 feet, but they've revised it to about 18 inches. We're ready, except we don't have a roof rake. :-[ So far, the snow is light and fluffy so maybe the wind will keep it from accumulating much on the roof.
