Do you drive your A in the snow or stormy weather?

Year round, our 1930 Pickup serves us well. Last night we didn't put our car cover on it and it got clobbered with 14 inches of fresh snow.

Roger,


Was that storm Jan 27th 1969? … Parts of Seattle got 45 inches that day.


We were on a DC-8 coming back from Vietnam.


I was not ready for a second Tet Offensive and was so glad to get out of Vietnam before Jan 30th came around again.


The Anchorage AK airport was socked in due to snow so we refueled at Cold Bay near Russia in Aleutian Islands.


They let us land at McCord AFB.

I looked at these, and my 31 roadster and gave a resounding "hmmm". so I mounted these wheels on car, and opened garage door. that car dug two trenches out of shop, with snow and dirt flying. it clawed its way up the driveway and onto road. down the road at 30 mph, with people looking at an old roadster out at nite in a snowstorm. I got to the store and back without incident, and sold the tires for $100 a piece
