You're getting the pasting we got yesterday into this morning...although it has pretty much stopped here now.

Are you getting the 25-30 mph winds kicking it around too?

Took me 1.5 hours this morning to get the driveway cleared (with a snowblower...was places it was 6-8 inches+ higher than the scoop on the blower), and already at lunch when I went home it is apparent I will spending a good chunk of time tonight blowing it clear again.

On the plus side, it is funny to hear co-workers ask if I finally had to put it in 4wd yet

Default Snoooowwww!!!

Ya I put it in 4 wheel and decided to drive up to the corner to see all the little cars stuck in ditches...and at every intersection their were more cars and pick ups that couldnt even get out of a driveway or up a tiny hill!

Feels good that I can just push my way through!

Yep its snowing like crazy right now in northern Illinois, just got in from work and the JK is awesome in such deep snow and going through the truck ruts were a breeze. I already knew that the JK is awesome in snow but its still exciting!!
