Wow, didn't realize DC got that kind of snow. I'd try to slip out of there (either Dulles or Reagan National) early if at all possible before it gets crazy. If you don't make it, let us know and we'll drive Rubi-Gene up there to rescue you.

Default Skyline + Mud + Snow + Cold =

Mortar mud that I have yet to blast off of Wilbur. Spent several dollars at the car wash Saturday evening, and finally gave up. The water started to form icicles as it streamed off the Jeep. Didn't realize until looking at the pics that this stuff is a mixture of leaves, twigs, mud, pebbles, and probably concrete.

Need to bundle up and head out with the sprayer one of these evenings, hopefully before this junk bonds with the paint . . . if it hasn't already.

Washed my rig today. It took me about an hour to wash off under fenders and everything else underneath before I could even wash the darn thing. The mid stained the black fenders. Oh well they look better muddy.

Myself and Corey used the facilities at the river down form the campground to wash the Jeeps, looked like we had never been on teh trail when we hit the pavement.

15 mins with a 3800PSI pressure washer in the front drive, and the jeep looks like it just rolled of the showroom floor.............except maybe the scratches on the fenders.............and the scratch in the hood from coal creek that was added to on Sat. from a med sized tree that decided to snap and jump over the jeep instead of under......................and the gas tank skidthat thing takes a beating..........and so on.

What is the weather out there in huntsville, I have about 2" of snow?

Default Heater Temperature

Interesting post - never thought to measure the temp, but I know my heater blasts fiery hot air too.

Outside temp was 47deg and cold rain. Thats the hottest reading I got. I was shooting the vent adjusters and not down the tube.

I knew it was hot but dammmmnnnnnnn!!!

Just an FYI..........
