Box in snow (not a how does the box handle in snow)

apparently this is too much snow for my box. So that you get an idea of how deep that is, those are 18s and I already shoveled 3 times. And it is suppose to snow for another week.

You're not worried about your roof buckling from the weight of the snow?

How are you getting around right now? Or are you?

It's a good thing you didn't get the white one.

I am tired from snow shoveling. They are stupid here in Reno and probably won't plow my street, so it looks like I am going no where fast. I wish I could move it off the street but it is not going any where.

Does it usually snow there? It snowed here (Houston, Tx) 12/24. Hasn't snowed here in roughly ten years. Snowed in Mexico. Seems like it's snowing in alot of strange places lately.

19" in southern IN, which is above the yearly average. I had a very similar picture about a week ago. If you are not already, you will be impressed by the xB's snow driving ability.

Well it doesn't usually snow like this, but it usually snows. Elevation at my pace is roughly 5000ft. We are right outside of Tahoe. And not too far from where the Donner party got trapped.

That much snow in Reno, OMG. I'm in north west Jersey and today I spent the day in 55 degree sunny weather washing and waxing my cars. All the while looking at the 15hp John Deere snowblower I have sitting idle in the garage and I'm loving every minute of it. Please keep the snow there I'd like a break this year

The funny part is you guys are so surprised. We got 6' up in Tahoe. This is a major snow storm, but it does snow a lot. Just not normally all at once. This was almost as bad as the 92 storm in New Hamshire when I was 14. Had snow up to my chest. But I didn't drive then.
