Death storm 22'

Thoughts? I’m going to remote start it to see if that helps and let it run for 15-20 minutes, but I never put the temperature in my car over 70°

I try to have an extra gallon of windshield washer fluid in the garage to pour over the drivers door edges.  Then start the car and after 10-15 minutes of heat/defrost on high the other doors usually open.

Door locks on my '82 Z-28 use to freeze up so you couldn't put the key in...no remotes back then. Would fill a sandwich bag with hot water and hold it over the lock til it thawed out.

Sweet ride. Loved the black & gold variant.

Don't recall Camaros with that color combination. Think it was more a Trans Am thing.

'82 was the first year of the revamped F-body. Bought mine with "Crossfire Injection"...put out a whopping 160hp, maybe 20 more than the base engine. They should have named it "Misfire Injection". Had louvers in the hood that would pop open when you punched it. GM didn't think that feature all the way through. The louvers took in water as well as air. Filled the left rear cylinder with water. Car was in the shop 5 weeks.

The Camaro/Trans Am conversion is pretty sweet good too

Okay, now I remember them. Didn't particularly care for it. That black/gold looked better on the Trans Am.

Nino's opened at 8 this morning.  Figured I'd get there early to beat the crowds.  Parking lot was damn near full at 8:10.

First time out of the house since Wednesday.  Damn cold out with the wind.  Driver door was frozen at the seal but managed to pry it open.  Having a room temp Guinness to warm up

Park City & probably Deer Valley

Just got done clearing both my and my parent’s driveways for the third time in 3 days. Probably one more round tonight and then they’ll be good until Monday.

How much you guess you had so far? Not much here.

20+ inches for sure but it’s so windy it’s hard to tell. It was only 8” in my driveway this morning but up to my waist in my parents. They live a half mile away.

Downtown Marquette

Chatham Pub, about a half hour away.

Not a cross. That's a plus sign.

Lots of good shoveling, lots of time outside, lots of driveway beers.

Happy Holidays, my dudes.. (and Dendro).

Just finished shoveling the parents' driveway again. Had to push two people out who got suck at the corner. The road really isn't that bad, so not sure why people are getting stuck.

Because they suck at winter driving/driving in general...?

Finally, up to two inches, which seems personal to me, fluffy and minor drifting.

Got the blower running Wednesday, just to make sure it would, but no need for it.

Two inches… blower… [insert your own joke here.]

Due to an MCL injury early in the year that’s mostly rehabbed, Mrs. GreenWay wanted a snow service that I agreed to on a one-year trial basis. Those hosers have so far gotten two removal runs from the same damn snow, and probably a third one tomorrow. What’s great for their biz has me mumbling curse words like Fred Flintstone.

is that how it works? You sort of contract them out and then they charge you with each snow removal?

Can you issue some sort of edict that it must be, like, 2+ inches before their serves are needed?
