Washington State Snow plow!

I love to look at snow pics. (with Mavs. in them)


Ken

 

Can you find the Maverick in this picture? I could hardly find the car myself. This was taken 2 years ago after our Presidents Day blizzard. That car will never see that stuff again.

 

The snow is all gone

The snow is gone for now, that just let's me drive it more in the cold, I am planning on driving to Ocean Shore's, Wash. The first nice day we get and will take pictures, I am not brave enough to take it to Mount Rainier, it's a long way's down on some of those roads, maybe a picture of it close to Mount St. Helens one of these day's. Thanks for all the responses, Marty

 

I forgot to put my car cover on the 77...

 

i'd rather see a picture at the olympia brewery. haven't been there in a while.

 

-Don, I think it's taken over by the Tulley's coffee joint.

-Cool pics there Marty and Merc. Nice lights on the fence too.
You guys got more snow than we did here in Shoreline.
I suppose Ray got a good dusting also.

 

You better get a cover on it or it will start to rust.

 

Don, about Olympia Brewery

Don, the Olympia brewery is slowly being gutted, this was never supposed to happen but with outside interests they shut it down, they are supposed to retrofit it and sell bottled water, but that has supposedly fell thru, who knows, I grew up with Beer being made there and same driving to Seattle and seeing the Rainier Beer. Anyway I can still get a picture with the Capitol in the background. thanks guy's/gal's for all the comments. Marty

 

Hey man, sweep that snow off of the car asap. lots of vehicles in the tahoe region have dented roofs from snow being left on too long. only want the best for ya

 

I am pretty confident that we are in little danger of Maverick roofs denting from the weight of the snow.

 

1 foot is over 100#, one of the vehicles this happened to was a jeep wagoneer(made for that type of abuse).

 

DOH!

 

I found this pretty interesting so I did a little research. Heavy wet snow weighs in around 50 lbs per cubic foot. I measured the Maverick roof to be around 19.5 square ft.(being generous) Multiply that by the 50lbs and you can get 975lbs up there. But, the loading is only 5.5 oz per square inch. I'm not sure what factor Ford uses but I'm sure its better than that. Plus the Maverick roof is convexed so it adds to the strength. The wagoneer roof is much flatter than the Maverick one so that could easily of added to its demise.

 

hmmm, honey im gonna buy another mav and convert it to four by four. well be selling the subaru . (I wish)


man, you really do your homework
