Snow buries parts of Rockies, Upper Midwest

People in the Upper Midwest and Rockies woke up to frigid temperatures Tuesday, with heavy snow blanketing some areas.
More than 2 feet of snow blanketed parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and more was on the way before the front was expected to exit Wednesday. Northern Wisconsin also got as much as 18 inches of snow, and parts of central Minnesota more than 16.
The weather wasn't enough to persuade Joe Meath to flee Minnesota, even though he won nearly $12 million in a state lottery game two months ago. Meath was busy with his small snowplow business, taking care of his customers in his Chevy truck with nearly 300,000 miles on it.
Anybody who doesn't believe GM's IFS is up to the task is foolish. How many years of GM HD's are out there? plenty. If I'm going to complain about something being flimsy on a GM it would be the interior, not the driveline or suspension.
When I wrenched, I LOVED those trucks! They kept me employed all winter! Axleshafts, ball joints, steering parts, the weird thermal axle disconnect...replaced them all! (Been a while, but I once could do ball joints on a K2500 in an hour.)
Not coincidentally, both my F-350's had kingpins and solid front axles!
