pretending to be kids again...playing in the snow with bigger toys

[Fantom]

So Robert, Pawel and I managed to find a nice parking lot to have fun in and pretend we were kids again with much bigger toys:
we're all little kids at heart on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
have you got some fun videos of playing in the snow this winter?

I am tired of shoveling snow! Bring on the rain, if I want snow I'll drive to Whistler, Kelowna etc...
My driveway is 175', I have almost ran out of room to "store" snow.

I, too, am tired of shoveling snow. It has been difficult to keep up. Now it's water management time.

175 feet, GG? You need a plow for your rig!

I'm sorry I thought you people had Landcruisers not Miatas, what the hell are you complaining about, this was nothing to get through.

I love driving in the snow and I don't shovel for me, rather the wife, the kids, elderly people visiting.....

my wife's Sienna, the mailman and like Kim says, water management. I am shoveling it all into the backyard or close to the street to keep it away from the house. A flooded basement wouldn't make my day. Looks like a snowblower is in my future, or maybe a quad with a blade.

Ah, you have that extra 40 just going to waste. Rig it up with a plow!

This snow can **** off any time AFAIC. Though I must say, driving through some of the back alleys around here is the closest I've come to wheeling in about a year. Even got to pull my bro-in-law out when his 4x4 F150 got stuck leaving our M-I-L's driveway last night.
Ok, maybe it's not so bad after all. BJ70s do good fishtails in 2WD...

i've been out every day since the snow hit.......been cruising Surrey/Burnaby mostly.....even made the trip out to Abbotsford on Xmas to visit the folks......no problems whatsoever. My wife's civic has been parked and we've been cruising around in the 71 exclusively.

She's been telling everyone that our Tonka Truck has been saving our hides during this weather.

Yes, my wife's also realized that had we only a car or a mini-van, we would have been stuck without wheels. Until yesterday, only trucks with decent tread could navigate our street. Cars that attempted it were getting high centred. Yesterday, a plow came down and only plowed one lane width. It's a no exit street, so I can't understand why he only plowed one width. Good thing he's got a city job.

It makes sense in one-way cul-de-sacs.
