I don't think I truly appreciated how special February 2019 was in the moment, and in many ways I think a lot of us still fail to recognize how special it was. We talk a lot about the all-time months, the January 1969's, January 1950's, December 2008's of the world. February 2019 is in that pantheon IMO. In our climate the ceiling on a February is not going to be that of a great December or January, but February 2019 was about as special as they get. I knew it was a once in a lifetime the evening i stood on my deck with my son and watched it hammer snow and thunder snow with 28 inches on the ground already. I told him we might never see this again. I think out peak depth was 33 inches. 1 Quote We come from the land of the ice and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.SNOWMIZER Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 I'm rebuilding a rear differential on a 2010 Ford f350.
