ITT you guess how many times I've shoveled today (pics)(reps)

[JCAZ2010]

wow that's crazy.

It was 70 and sunny here today

[Laszlo]

People act like it's nothing new. everyone just drives a little slower. They don't ever cancel school or work for snow.

Personally, I drive a 2WD compact car and I've never had a problem either. Here or in Sault Ste. Marie, MI...another very snowy place. You just have to be careful when you drive.

didnt read all 7 pages but...who the hell buys a jetta to drive in alaska?

you got chains on the tires brah?

edit 80s here last week

[sellihca]

Pretty cool...not a place where i would wanna live but something i'd like to experience one day...keep us updated with moar pics.

[Dymethazine]

damn i thought we got lots of snow but it melted here today and nows the roads are effing icy.

[Tapitytaptap]

bro u live in alaska, wud u expect?

on the bright side all youd have to do to get hyooooge is take some steroids and shovel snow.

[Addthefun123123]

Awesome pics OP, have you ever had to dig out a shovel you accidently left out in the snow?

[SmarterChild]

I hate snow. Cant wait to move someplace warm

[trifle]

damn thats alot of snow. bet its fun on the weekends.

[HomeRunKingAK]

Most of this is from the last 24 hours. It's supposed to get worse over the next couple days...
So how many times do you think I've shoveled today (not counting the time I pulled out the snow blower) Winner gets reps.




They've plowed the road about 4 times today. That's my Jetta on the left. It's been sitting there for about 5 hours.

[HomeRunKingAK]

My pics of it:



Eagle River to Anchorage





Snowblowed at 7:30 am this morning with my pops and then this is what it looked like at 4:00pm.

[horriblecreation]

That sucks. I had only seen it when I was young, until I joined the CG and got stationed in Michigan. After that I loved it, which is part of the reason we wanted to come here.

When I retire it will probably be back in Texas, and we won't have to deal with it, but it's fun when you're young. lots of stuff you can do in it.

coast guard in alaska huh? happen to know my buddy austin casey up there?

[the_fixxxer]

holy **** brah, i've never seen that much snow before. about 8 years ago we got 26" here in NC, it was a freak storm, biggest one in well over a hundred years....and it shut everything down for like 2 weeks lol. i could not imagine being around all that snow.

[Pantload]

op that's amazing. i miss the snow. we better have a white chirstmas next year when i get back home.

oh and i'd almost just give up shoveling and just make a temp roof over the now tunnel like section you've dug from your house to the street... just sayin, be flippin sweet

[hungarian_boss]

Reps OP.

I think your best investment would be a snowblower.

[Smok_Em]

daaamn that look so cool ive never touched snow before i wish i was there, but must be a bitch to shovel.

[john876]

Do you get flash floods from all that snow melting?

[pinzer]

Pics are awesome. When there's a forecast for 1" of snow here (Long Island, not upstate NY) everyone sprints to the grocery store and buy up all the milk, eggs, and bread...

apparently everyone gets cravings for french toast during a snow storm, who knew?

[NeverGymLess]

damm, about to fap to the snow.

[blurrr]

Damn brah, would have me a wicked RMK 900 for up in that sh!t.

yeahhhh

[Soflogator]

goddam thats insane...yesterday i was sweatin my balls off at like 86 F. I'd rather live somewhere up north where there's snow and you actually have seasons, unlike in FL

[SemperParatus]

Let's see if I can address some of these.

i wish we had that in Canada ;(

only have like 2 inches right now fuuu


PLEASE tell me you have a sled.

If by sled, you mean a plastic thing to slide down hills, YES. If you mean a snow machine, unfortunately, NO.

what about the new bmw s1000rr?

Those are sick too. There's a few bike's I'll be looking at, but I've been drooling over the Daytona 675 since they first announced it. a liter version would be a wet dream.

OP are you thinking of making an igloo/cave type deal.

We bought some block makers so we can make an igloo. They're like the pales you can buy to make sandcastle, but for snow (and shaped like a brick)

Last year I dug out a big cave for my kids to play in. will probably do it again this year.

didnt read all 7 pages but...who the hell buys a jetta to drive in alaska?

you got chains on the tires brah?

edit 80s here last week

I'm in the Coast Guard so I never know where I'll get stationed next. I bought it when I was in California.

yo ive shoveled three times today im in anchorage. Where u at?

Valdez. Are you guys getting much snow today?

Awesome pics OP, have you ever had to dig out a shovel you accidently left out in the snow?

once actually, lol. what a pain.

Yeah bro!! Prolly 3-4 times. I am put in Eagle River and it's dumping now still this night. I just got home from SoCal college for Xmas and BAM this snow. Where you at, ANC??

I'm in Valdez. hope you can fly out after Christmas. lol

coast guard in alaska huh? happen to know my buddy austin casey up there?

I just looked him up on Global, it shows he's at Station Port O'Conner, TX. Did he leave here this summer? There's a TON of CG units here in Alaska, so he could have been anywhere. I didn't know him.

Reps OP.

I think your best investment would be a snowblower.

We have one but the snow was pretty wet and would compress, then the tracks would just spin, when I tried to use it.

Do you get flash floods from all that snow melting?

No, but it can flood during the summer because we live on the edge of a rain forest and it can rain a LOT.

[SemperParatus]

I'll get some more pics today when I get home from work. They went through everyone's yard with the huge plows yesterday but when we woke up this morning there was about another foot on the ground. lol.

[44hunter]

do you make snow tunnels in that s#it? I would! I would love to live there, sportsmans paradise
