Default First snow

Looking out into the backyard this morning, and seeing the first snow of the year. (Illinois) As Little as it was. Is Always a reminder its time to put the car away, and pull out the cover.

Northern Pike. Before catch & release, and replica mounts. I would catch a few nice pike fishing muskie tournaments. Then give them to guy a knew who was going to taxidermy school. Most I’ve given away, a few I’ve kept. Great to have you back Alan!

So I put the plow on the Wrangler last week. Call me chicken. LOL. Going to be in the upper 50's later in the week.
The Wrangler has a LS6/4L60E swap with a Western hydro turn plow so moving snow with the heater on and a hot coffee in the console is quite nice.
Sounds like NW Indiana got 13" of snow?
