We just had another nor’easter up here in Cryogenica, and this one dumped the most snow we’ve gotten so far in a single storm this winter. Here’s a picture of the total snowfall level–the ground was bare before the start of the storm. For reference, the Renegade has 18-inch wheel rims :
(A month into owning it, I am still impressed with that little Jeep, by the way. It does even better in the snow than the Subarus, which is no small feat. Just after I took that picture, I climbed in and drove the Renegade out of that spot and down to the bottom of the driveway so the plow guys could clean up. No shoveling required.)
I’m hoping that was the last snow storm of the season, but up here you never know. We’ve had nor’easters as late as April and as early as November. And now you know why every other car in New England has AWD or 4WD drive.
I do enjoy the four very distinct season, however, even the snow. It does have its beauty. (Which is easier to appreciate when you have a plow guy on call and an automatic propane backup generator that powers the whole house for a week in a pinch.)
Good to know that Fiat isn’t letting the Jeep name down, at least with regard to the capability of their AWD system. I’d really be curious to drive the Renegade and a Crosstrek back-to-back for comparative purposes. Not that I’m in the market; between the 2017 Tacoma TRD Off-Road (didn’t want to go that fancy, but you have to to get the manual transmission) and the ’09 Impreza (not as fancy as I wanted, but again, you take what you can find when you’re looking for a manual these days) I’m pretty well equipped by Alabama standards.
Love the message you put together with points. Mental health in the military seems to be at the forefront in the media, but you spun it in a good light. As a veteran I appreciate it. Also are you done, or do we get to follow a new character in the new books. Humans have got to beat the lankies in a battle at some point!
Just wondering if the frontline series is done or if I can look forward to another book. I’m addicted! As a veteran and a lifetime science fiction junkie i have to know lol
