So Philadelphia received the 2nd highest snowfall on record of 28.5" of snow. The highest before that was in 1996 with 30.7" and before that was just before Christmas this season, 2009 with 23.2" - damn snowy winter here! I am loving it. I live about 45 mins West of Philly, and we still got about 25" in this area. So anyway, no more chat... here are photos I took today with my Nikon D2x and Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens. No levels/color editing, just wanted 'em uploaded:

Don't suppose you have more of the barn you'd be willing to share? I don't know if it's yours or not, just curious.

Thanks everyone. The Jeep rocks in the snow. I built it to wheel but it's nice to be one of the only vehicles on the road when weather like this happens! I did do a 180 on Route 100 thanks to PennDOT leaving a giant mound of 2 foot tall snow between lanes. That was fun.....

1-2 feet more possible Tues/Weds AND again on Sat! HECK YES!

I have only 1 other barn shot, but that's 8 mins from my house so I can grab some more at some point.

Love that Jeep. Are you going to Wharton on the 20th? there are supposed to be 20ish rigs going.

Wow that jeep looks great. I'm probably wrong but didn't you just get it? You work fast if so.

Thanks! Negative on Wharton. I go to Rausch Creek now. Not going back to Wharton again in this TJ. Wharton caused me several thousand dollars of damage over the last 11 years of wheeling down there. I prefer rocks versus mud/sand/water. It only took me 11 years to find that out!

Thanks man! I purchased it back in November of 2008, so 15 months of having this Jeep, purchased completely stock. I will post before/after shots when I get home. Here's a stock shock about 15 mins after I picked 'er up down in Delaware:

It's the yellow gate on the bridge that says "Do not block gate"

Ah I know exactly where that is but I have no idea. Does that make sense? It's near the KOA campground about 1 mile from where that shot was with the freight train.

where exactly is that barn? it looks awfully familiar...any state parks around it?

PAFirefighter11
02-09-2010, 10:23 AM
Barn is in West Chester/Downingtown area but looks like a ton of other barns in the Southeastern PA region. No State Parks in that general area that I am aware of, just tiny little township parks.

Thanks guys - I do love that first snow effect that we get around here - especially on these back roads. It was nice being one of the few driving down High Street during the storm. All the college kids at WCU were walking down the streets lol.
