If you can believe it, my van was pulling that Ford backwards in the Snow. Poor feller was on summer tires and front wheel drive and needed to leave his car at the curb.

Drove a Syncro Westy from Boulder to Baja last week for resto. This was at the top of Vail Pass at 11,500ft.

We are wrapping up our second snowfall during this week.
Neither was a significant quantity, about 3" each time.

They are forecasting a warm day next Friday, I figured I should clean around the Van, I've still got a transmission to pull out!

It isn't getting any warmer .......

I'm not one to lift my wipers off the glass but the recent snow storms we had the weight of the snow on the wiper blades were pushing the arm down.

So I lifted them.
Yesterday I was doing some stuff with the other vehicles and I stabbed myself about three time with the points of the wiper blades!

I think I'm just getting old and doing stupid stuff.......

Snow is largely melted away and after tonights rain will probably be gone completely.
