Fit snow plow!

Southern Ontario got hit with a pretty good storm today, decided to take some pics when I got home.

My Fit playing in the snow.



I tried plowing my street... it didn't work very well.

Yup, that's a decent amount of snow. When it snows like that in Kentucky, the entire state is shut down for a solid week or two. People flip out and don't have a clue what to do.

We just got 14" here starting at midnight and ending at 10am. Supposed to get another 3-5" tomorrow night and then another 4-6" Sunday night.

Don't have any pics of my car under the snow because I had to get up at 5am and shovel out the driveway and go to work

what's with pics of the wipers being up? Keeps it from freezing to the glass? How does it stay up during a snowstorm? Wouldn't the wind push the blades back down? I'm confused...

He probably put the wipers up to wipe the snow off his windshield as it is probably too thick to just wiper off.

Here in Salt Lake, we have about 8 inches of snow on the ground and more to come. its funny to see trucks sliding around, and just drive past them in the fit like its no big deal.

Yep - they're expecting a lot more snow here tomorrow. I haven't taken my fit out the last couple days because the roads are covered with snow and ice and I don't want someone sliding into me..... :-(

We got about 5-6 inches Thursday night. I was the first one at work today & the plow folks had not shown up yet. I got to have some fun plowing through the snow to attempt to park in a slot. It's annoying and funny getting stuck in your own parking lot.

(damned snow, still trying to convince the SO that warmer climates really are better, the family can come & visit.) I love were I live, but I'm ready to have a few years without snow!

The wipers up make it easier to clean the windshield off in the morning. If it get's really cold the rubber will freeze to the window and when you turn them on or lift them up it will rip the fine edge off the wiper ruining it. The spring on the wiper cams over and would take a very strong wind to blow them back down,, but it could happen i guess. Also if we get alot of snow it tends to slide down the windshield and bends/breaks the wiper arms. Just a trick I learned from my Dad back in Indiana,,,,

The official Fit snow plow thread - wow that is some deep snow on that little Fit - I just keep hoping we dodge the snow mess this year.

Hey did anybody else get an e-card from Honda wishing you happy holidays! That was pretty cool.

I wish we got snow like that in MS every once in a while but the state would freak out. last week we got like 4-5 inches of snow(was a really random snow fall), and everybody here looked like they forgot how to drive and now we are back in the 70's this week

Yes, Cat, we're hoping to dodge the snow, this year again, too!

I'm concerned, though, because yesterday was 52F and today its bass ackwards at 25F.

BTW...Your login name is my initials.

I named my sons so that their initials are CAT, too.

My wife just missed it. She's a DAT.

3 CATs and a DAT.
