Just a light dusting to let you know what's coming.
When do you get to riding in the spring, July?
With a little luck I'll be out on the bike again in a few days -- the main roads will be fine by Saturday, but the road down the hill from my house may be a mess for the entire Winter with such a big, early snow.
I should take a photo of my Expedition in the morning. I have a snow plow on it (winch operated) and it just did great as I stayed on top of my driveway and was also able to make a couple of trips up and down another neighbor's driveway. My tires have 30k miles on them, so not the deepest tread in the world, but generally the 17" wheels and 4-wheel drive pulls pretty darn good. I still have a lot of cleanup to do at my place, but tomorrow is supposed to be near 50 and sunny.
So, 2 out of 3 houses was done successfully. The 3rd one, my neighbor that normally plows all of us with his ATV, was pretty buried in, so I went over to plow some at his place. Well, I was pushing some snow off to the side next to where his Jeep Wrangler and GMC Yukon are buried in snow -- now there is a Ford Expedition buried next to them. I did not want to f*rt with it this evening, so we're going to dig them out and clear up the driveways tomorrow when the sun is shining.
Over two feet of snow and drifts 4-6 feet is just a little much. Okay your Florida guys (Jan, Wayne, Roy, Red, Hal, etal), I don't want to hear about the warm sunny weather. A friend from Arizona that used to live here has already called and harassed me today.
