These probably won't qualify as blizzard photos, but I did take these yesterday. Mine is a "winter vehicle".

Paul/Woodinville · 02-07-2013, 11:22 PM

Now that is one cool vehicle. Here in Washington state you wouldn't be able to drive your old fords if you didn't drive in the rain.

Different situation for Redneck New englanders though. Getting 2'+? Dad is just parking the Dozer in the driveway.... Shoveling is for wimps

I could never figure out why folks just keep takin' that kind of punishment year after year.

It sprinkled a lttle bit today, but I do need to turn on the automatic sprinklers again or the lawn will die. And.. it's almost time to fire up the solar panels for the pool.

I know, you guys wouldn't live in earthquake country either, would you?

You guys reminisce about your perfect storms, out here we tell where we were when the Northridge 'quake rumbled through.

Pete/Ct. · 02-08-2013, 09:16 AM

Started serious snowing here in central Conn. In 78 we had to walk everywhere for 2 days, State treated the roads yesterday but its a losing battle. Its time to duck and cover. Pete/Ct

Cecil/WV · 02-08-2013, 09:39 AM

love the Ford tractor snow plow NAA? or 600?

The hood emblem looks like it is an NAA-Golden Jubilee!

BILL WZOREK · 02-08-2013, 09:45 AM

Started snow here @ 9:41 am

Vic Piano · 02-08-2013, 10:06 AM

That "A" Track Vehicle is Very COOL... Almost makes me want to come up and play in the snow...

BERNIE G · 02-08-2013, 10:24 AM

Some of the conversations here remind me of a time back when...
Me and a good friend decided we would fly to the Carolinas. Took a tool box as part of our luggage. We split the cash that we were takeing between us. We each put an even layer of bills in our shoes and went south to bring back a rust free something. Rented a car and went crusin, following one lead to another. Finally bought a 66 F 150 ( short Box custom paint,429 transplant) that we passed many times going to and from our Motel. We thought it looked too good to fit our budget. Ya never know less ya ask! Then with one day still left, we searched some local auto for sale magazines. Called on a Sunday morning, and bought a 65 F-150(long box 6 cyl). We headed home with our prize purchases. On had a noisy Alternator, so we stopped and boucht one at a Junkyard, just in case. Don't ya know, the other alternator crapped out instead. Somewhere in PA towards evening we put up for the night. They were predicting a SNOW STORM. Next morning, sure enough, a few inches of snow had fallen. Well lets have Breakfast and give time for the plows to clean up. Finally couldn't wait any longer. We hit the highway,and pulled on right behind the plow truck. Perfect timing!! Only, he wasn't plowing the 3 or 4 inches of snow. He was dumping PURE SALT down the center of the highway.OMG!!! Finally had to pass him. We had no weight, no snow tires, and a bundle of nerves. <So much for buying nice rust free trucks>. We were sick about it at the time.. Now we look back and laugh like -ell: Those memories are Priceless these days.. I'm sure lots of you have similar memories.. Enjoy.." THIS AIN't PRACTICE, THIS IS IT"

alan · 02-08-2013, 12:13 PM

Cecil 53 was the only Jubilee, 54 (same tractor with a different front badge) was a NAA

Ken Arms · 02-08-2013, 12:22 PM

Tractor is a 1953 Golden Jubilee, I love it too! Ken

JM 35 Sedan · 02-08-2013, 12:54 PM

Ken, I need to borrow that front blade setup for my Ford 8N just in case we get some snow here

Barry-ct · 02-08-2013, 02:01 PM

I remember the Blizzard of 78 very well. I had a Ford F-250 4x4 with a plow and I helped transport nurses to and from area hospitals. I had to go get my future wife at the Travelers insurance building, as they didn't let them go early enough. THe busses were stuck everywhere!
It's 2 pm and we have 2 inches out there,it's heavy as we were getting some rain mixed in right now.

BERNIE G · 02-08-2013, 02:05 PM

About 2 inche here in Southern Maine i'd say. Light and fluffy so far. Hang in there.

Bernie

BERNIE G · 02-08-2013, 02:10 PM

Barry, is you f-1 together, or are you in progress. Let me rephrase that, they are most always in progress. Is it done? I have a few parts; never know.
Bernie

FL&WVMIKE · 02-08-2013, 02:15 PM

SORRY, but I just got back from my water aerobics class, in an OUTDOOR pool. They had heated the water to 82*. I even got a little sunburn on my face.
We have a V8 Club Meeting tomorrow, so it looks like a good day to skin the top back and go for a drive.
DAMN, I love Florida !
