-27 Celsius, so cold the electronics were loading in actual slow motion 🫠 (studded Hakkas for the win)

All kids’ fingers and toes accounted for after a long fun day in the freezer.

wind chill meant business today.

Always jealous of your posts! I have to endure the cold and typically the snow, but without the fun places to explore in lower part of MN. 😄

Cheers @JMF20 These Defenders, and vehicles like them just open up so much terrain around here. Millions of acres of playground to explore. I feel very fortunate to be able to call it home and it was the main reason we got one.

These Minnesota-like temps are not all that common here. When we get them it's great: ellliminates all crowds. The slopes were near empty today. No lift lines and incredible wind-blown powder to play in. The -30 something wind chill was the kicker, but plenty of sheltered areas to enjoy once off the lift.

We’ve had a very warm, snow-free winter here in the northland. Thankfully we got enough recently to allow for some fun at a local private off road property. It was my first time off pavement with the LR. Pretty impressed, even without the rear locker, it went everywhere I was willing to go. Definitely needs tires though, that’ll get taken care of soon.

Got caught field repairing my front runner rack (installer error). The eBay side ladder came in handy.

What repairs did you have to do to your roofrack?

We sadly don't have too much snow here in Southern California, but still a fun drive.

Had to reinstall the wind deflector, shook loose during some shenanigans. The Frontrunner instructions are a little flawed when it comes to that lil guy.
