I think the same storm system that you're supposed to get,was supposed to start here in SW Ohio late afternoon today,but so far I have'nt seen one flake.We were forcasted 1 to 3'' by midnight and an additional 3 to 5" during the day tomorrow.We either won't get it, or it's behind schedule.We already had 6 to 8" last week and it was alot of fun. We'll keep our fingers crossed for ya.

WAHOO! in the northern part of metro detroit, we will most likely see about 3-5" of the white stuff. I can't wait because I really want to try out my new tires in the real deep snow (realitivly deep) |

Well, we are sick of the stuff out here in Colorado. You can have it. It means a slower melt in the spring and early summer and some trails will remained closed until July. Now that sucks. |

Chicago is getting some right now - 1-3 inch by noon, 5-9 inch later in the afternoon - I just put the KJ in 4HI and drove to work without a hitch. Mid-Southern Indiana & Mid Southern OH will get a lot of this white stuff... be careful out there. |

I don't mind the cold temps IF there is snow on the ground. Last winter it snowed for Christmas and then dissapeared and never snowed again.  I'm looking forward to a good night of traffic jams and slushy free-ways.

Crossing my fingers for tomarrow too! Can't wait to drive in this stuff....I love my jeep! I've got 6-8" of snow/ice combo here right now on the far southwest side of Indianapolis. Our garage door is frozen shut and our driveway has been drifted in with 12-16" of snow across the entire driveway (about 100 or more feet) so we are stuck here. Two snowblowers broke on me earlier so we got rid of them, now I've got a tractor with a 42" snowplow on it that for the first time ever will not start. Tired of it and fully understand why people move south after years of this turmoil. Not sure what to do at this point as there is no one in my house healthy enough to shove snow, no contractors are returning calls for snow removal, yadda, yadda, yadda - we are stuck for sure. I guaranteeeeeee I'll have a plow on the Jeep for next year. Snow used to be fun, but as you get older and have family responsibilities, it's just plain stressful. |

We just started getting a few inches here in P.A. Drove my wife to work and picked my son up from school. Hi-4 most of the time with no heart in the throat moments. Love my KJ and love it even more with the new Revos. Be careful out there and have a good time.

We've got probably around 6-8" with lots of blowing and drifting snow here in Chicago's western 'burbs. So glad I have the KJ to get me through the drifting snow (and that's just in the parking lot at work ) Storm is heading east, tommudd...

It's 6:10 pm here in Grafton Ohio, 28 miles west of cleveland and were in the midts of a blizard. Allready had the kj out in it today. I drove all the way to town and back in 4-wheel high without ever hitting dry pavement, the roads all snow covered and it's getting worse. The kj is of course a champ in the snow and the traction control works great. Both rear tires will spin like it has posi. I know we complain about the kj being a bit porky, but in these conditions, I found the added weight to be a plus. It has a nice solid feel and just grabs and goes slinging snow as it goes. |

What an afternoon....... 
Just got back a little bit ago....me and my sisters boyfriend went out in my KJ and his ZJ to rescue people and pull them out.....EVERYONE WAS STUCK!!! We were originally going to get my mom unstuck in her AWD Pontiac Torrent on a drifted country road but she got out and told us there were a couple people stuck in cars on a road close to our house. I had already went out to town to get gas so I knew it was getting bad....we passed a guy in a Duramax dualie and snowplow and he complained "It's REALLY bad...you guys don't want to try it!!" Well me and my sisters BF were feeling corky in our Jeeps so we took off down the road ignoring the warning!!
We hit a point where the drifts were OVER my fog lights and engulfing my bumper...and mind you my KJ is STOCK....but I was in 4 HI just chugging along.....finally we just went off in the field it was soo bad...we got to a guy in a buick car....BURIED....made a little path to another guys house and got him out and then pulled a guy in a Chevy Jimmy out of a drift after he even said he was in 4HI!! The guy in the Buick said "What kinda vehicles ARE THOSE????!" Jeeps DUH!!! God I LOVE MY KJ! Oh and at the end of the day we both made $35!! $17 a piece....GAS MONEY BABY!!!
We're guna have another go at it in the morning....people in cars wont get anywhere down these roads for work in the morning and I'm GUARANTEEING we won't have school! Hopefully we can make some more $$! Just had to share that with all you guys.....what fun!!
