Oh shit!

This is why a lot of areas made it illegal to be out unless you had to be.
They're even shutting down most of public transportation in Philly, until tomorrow morning, except the subway and one elevated line. Not only other cars are a problem, but people on skis, bicycles and snowmobiles, in the street.

Yeah, like the cop told him, 4wd means you can go it doesn't mean you can stop.

My dad has a 4x4 like that. Red and HUGE and not so easy to handle apparently.

Look at your one child taking it all in stride.

I am so so glad you are all alright.

Holy crap! I bet that was scary. I'm glad everyone is OK, but I'm sorry for your Jeep. (Or I'm not sorry for your Jeep...j/k) I am sorry it happened. Fuck. Accidents just suck.

I had a little one during our last ice storm. As I tried to make a left turn, my car kept going straight and my wheel hit the curb flat side...hard. Ended up costing me nearly $1000. I declined not to go the insurance route.

At least with yours, the other guys insurance pays up. That is a bright side.

So sorry Jinx, but so glad all are ok. That's the important thing. the car can be fixed/replaced.

jinx · 02-06-2010, 08:59 PM

No way that guy even tried to stop. Look how far into a snow/mud bank he has pushed my 6000lb jeep. We're way off the other side of the road there.

here's a scientific depiction of what transpired.

You've got a bit of white on your chair there.

I actually enjoy shoveling when the snow is light. But now I never want to leave the spot. It won't be available when I get back.

These guys haven't dug out yet.

I forgot how much that sucks. As much as I hated shoveling my driveway, at least nobody else will park in it.

Happy Monkey · 02-07-2010, 03:50 PM

The snow was much deeper at my parents' place. Notice anything odd?

Pico and ME · 02-07-2010, 03:56 PM

HM, Im looking and looking....

glatt · 02-07-2010, 03:58 PM

look at the clothes line. If you click on the link and look at the original size, you'll see it.
