We got hammered here in Southern Il. I live about 25 miles south on I 70, and about 20 miles from Indiana. We don't normally get much snow. 12" at least last night with blowing and drifting. Drifts as deep as 5'. For you northern guys that may be no big deal, but the world here has come to a halt. Got the cab mounted and temporarily sealed up. Been out blowing snow all day. Haven't been able to get home, as we live out in the country. Friend just called me and said the road to my house hasn't been plowed. It's about 400' from the plowed blacktop to my house, so I'll be loading the cub up and seeing if I can open my road. Temp here is -10° and falling. Wind chill of -35°. Stay safe out there guys! I'll check in later and maybe post some pics! Hopefully, I'll get to sleep in my own bed tonight!

Here are a few pics from the build, and the snow just outside the shop door. Not too deep as this door faces east. I have several "action shots" from today, from my trusty helper who follows me around in a van so I have somewhere to go warm up! LOL.

Cab looks good. Take it easy and try to stay unfrostbit. Temp here is dropping like a gutshot duck, promises to be worse tomorrow. Global warming gets turned back on this weekend. LMAO

Nice looking cab fit-up Jonathan, I like the rear mount idea as I was looking for a new place to tie mine in, I couldn't tell does that hinge there, mine does now and think that is important.
All that probably isn't as important as your weather situation, that's scary in those parts, heck that's not all that fun in these parts, it's not even that cold in northern mi and you mid states folks stole all the snow!
Stay safe and try to get warm, here's hoping you get home!
