Harry P. Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I still have my snow shovel in my Jeep, though I don't use it much in AZ.. When people see it, do they know what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 When people see it, do they know what it is? Probably not..it's in my back hatch area, sort of the 'trunk' of an SUV...all sorts of junk back there-- ice scrapers, heavy winter Weather Tech rubber floor mats, air compressor, battery charger, cans of window deicer, etc...

About 12 years ago we went to Phoenix for Spring Break to see my Mother-in -Law and the Cubs spring training. It was 80 degrees every day in Phoenix but when we went up to the Grand Canyon, it was 28 degrees and 16 inches of snow! And we thought Chicago weather was strange!

charlie8575 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I just looked out the door. I kinda wish I hadn't. I'll probably go out in a little while and clear some. At least the electric snow-thrower Dad bought works pretty decent. He was able to get about four spots equivalent cleared in about ten minutes with about three or four inches on the ground. Looking out the door, I'd say we have about 8 or 10 right now. Mike- did your wife get home safe? Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHSS Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wow I went out to move some good size branches that came down on the road. I shoveled my drive way while I was out there. Theres about 5-6 inches and its wet and heavy, and the bad part of the storms has just arrived and is supose to go all night. On the plus side I managed to get four cars finished up today.
