I think I prefer the 6" of snow we got on Friday night over that!

We got some ice here last night aswell, not quite that much though. About half that. Spent a good 10 mintues scrapping my windows off after work. Then last night and this morning we got an inch of snow on top of that so everything is slick as crap.

You can keep that - 40 crap. We rarely get down to single digits. Can't remember the last time we went negative.

How do you even get the door open to start it up! Man that ice looks nasty.

Haha,
I thought someone on here said that their job might take them to Williston… I live only an hour or so North of there! Haha.
So that's what they have to look forward to in the winter!
I don't think I could handle the ice storms you guys get though. That's crazy!

Yup this is the kinda stuff that helped me move my truck to the garage. We get this almost every year in Washington, and its like concrete, it was over 2" thick in places, Have to get up an hour early just to get into the truck, Block heater works good though :D

Thankfully my truck was 300 miles south of this storm when it hit, otherwise my truck would be covered in ice as well. I've started looking at chains because of this storm. Looks like there aren't many options that fit a 35 inch tire.

How do you go about clearing this much ice off your trucks?

I just drove my wife's Jeep for a few days. Lol. I took the truck to the car wash yesterday and it all came off pretty easy when hit with the hot soapy water. Only took $10 and it's sort of clean. :D

When i know its going to be bad i plug the block heater in and wipe tire shine gell all over the drivers door seals, handle and door seams as the ice comes rt off when you disturb it. or run a hose from hot water heater in the garage and hose drivers door off so i can at least start it an let the defroster work from there. :wink:
