Buried Alive!

[sixtysix]

We got about 40 inches of snow end of last week, then got around 3 feet yesterday. I am out of places to put it, the snow blower can no longer throw it high enough to clear the banks of snow in my driveway. Got to see a tractor-trailer flip over yesterday in a white out. I just heard they mentioned Mexico on the ABC national morning news program, officialy 33 inches (they must not have counted the 6" over night). In Oswego where I work, they had a snow emergency yesterday....they got about a foot less than me.

Is spring coming...forcast is for more snow and single digit to below 0F temps for next 6 days. Then they are predicting some heavy snows after that. Going crazy here!

Spring IS coming

Yes Gary,

Spring is coming...... it's just a matter of WHEN it arrives ! !
My hopes are that mother nature brings it early, we're tired of the "white stuff" we've got here and are also out of places to put it !! (it's snowing as I type )

I'll keep my hopes alive and hope you'll do the same !!

In the meantime, perhaps you might think about investing in some "heavy" equipment to move that snow around !

Ciao 4 now !!

So when are you going to get a snowmobile? Yamaha makes some very nice ones, including the RX-1 four stroke, based on the Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycle engine. See it at:

My Yamaha V-Max 540L is still in storage in Wisconsin, but have not needed it here in AZ due to the 50 degree plus weather we have been having, although it did rain a week or so ago.....

40" of snow? And you're not out riding? Wimp.

Jerry-It's too deep to snowmobile!

It doesn't sound like much but we have 3" so far this morning and Nashville is completly stopped. I used to live in Idaho and we had 12' high walls on the sides of road in the winter too but I decided it wasn't for me anymore.

Good luck digging out.

Well just take one of these and put an XSive engine in it. Then you'll be XSive year round!!!

Gary,

SEND US SOME OF THAT SNOW! The ski resorts have a little but most are making man-made-snow for the popular runs.

It's a good thing we didn't hold the Olympic Games here this year!

The weather guys said that by this time last year we had 46 inches total in the valley. This year we have had 3".

I am looking for a box right now...is COD OK?

Flagstaff, AZ is about 100 miles noth of me. Ski area there was open a grand total of 4 days in 2001 - 2002. This year (2002 - m2003) it was been open about 10 days, may open again if it gets some snow.

Kidding aside, we here in the west could really use that snow. Local meterologist figured out we are 2 full years behind average moisture in the last 5 years. While I like the riding weather (rode the XJ to work today) I would like to see some of that white stuff come our way.

Send the COD to the State of Arizona...we are only a few million into deficite spending!

no snow here

Here in Wisconsin, we havent any snow... actually, there have been a couple times when we got an inch or so, but none of it stuck around for long-- kinda feel a little cheated, if its gunna be too cold to ride, I at least want some snow!

Snow in Virginia

Well, I'm a bit east of Nashville Bill, and we had a nice little winter storm last night, we got 4 inches here and up to 8 just 30 miles north across the river. I've been talking with Chuck who runs the Yahoo list, lives in western Ill, and they haven't seen much there either, real freaky. Guess we can blame El Nino or something!?

I've had a Snow morning, day off from work, but the morons that run the office are still deciding whether to put everyones life and patients lives at risk in trying to open it up for ?business? this afternoon!!!! These folks barely know how to drive when it rains, not to mention SNOW. The highway dept is asking folks to stay at home, only go out if absolutely necessary, that's like Emergency, not for regular work....geez, wish the higher ups had a brain, maybe I can send them to the WIZARD????

[dspshemp]

Well, I won't rub it in, but...... The people down here are acting like it will snow 50" overnight!! It will get down to 44 with the wind chill........Cold for us!!

I live in VA but felt it was time to come south for the next two weeks, my SWMBO called and told me that they had several inches of snow and that I do this every year. They are bracing for a big freeze here in Florida tonight. I guess I should go home and shovel, no on second thought that is what son in laws are for, right?
The bike is in the shop and so I have to ride a goldwing.

Well, as I've just read, I guess things could be alot worse here. We have 12 inches of snow on the ground, current temp. is 10 F.
Earlier this morning it was -6 deg. F. !!
The only riding going on around here is ATV's, steel runner sleds, innertubes and 4x4's. More snow is expected starting Sunday.
I've got my steel runner "tripple sanded" and my 32 inch diameter, tractor innertube over inflated AND Armor'alled; now how's that for FAST?
