when i opened my garage door the snow was higher than the rear of my vette. wish I took a pic. Tom, I'll buy that steering rack from you if you invite me out to utah. would love to go snowboarding in some real snow. I spend my weekends in VT but I don't think it's like utah. My dog finally had to go out and all you could see was his tail like a periscope. he is a choc lab. He loved it but I spent all day snowblowing and it sucked. I could have finished my waterpump instead. Hope your power comes back soon in MA. stay safe. waiting for my roof to leak now with all this rain. The cars and the palm trees look nice. Thanks for the pics P.

I have to respond by line to this one!
If you're sane and normal...I'd do that. You're right...it's not the same. I grew up skiing in NE; after school at Mt Wachusetts and on weekends at Sunday River. Also did all the VT/NH areas and of course Sugar Loaf. Tuckerman's was mandatory April ritual. <That was the closest thing to "out west" skiing. It is big, bad terrain out here, with BIG, bad snow. Alta/Snowbird average ~600"/year. The backside (where I live) average ~355". I love it. I LOVE snowblowing (gotta have the right machine -hint; Honda hydrostatic), and I love the winter/mountain life. Make a plan. As Warren Miller always said, "Come on out and join me. If you dont do it this year, you will be one year older when you do."
DOH! And that is the other difference between here and NE. Back there, it seems w/o fail, that good snow is ruined by....RAIN...which is followed by...sub zero temps! Boooo!

Well it's pretty big, rectangularly shaped, with water on three sides, a long border on the south side, a big flat area in the middle, and a big bay toward the north side. Some mountians too.
Here on the west coast, we've had one 2" snowfall this year.

I live in northern Ontario Canada and we got a dusting of snow compared to southern Ontario and the north eastern states.. Our total snowfall here might total about a foot.. That's from the first snowfall to present.. Camera's broken so no pics, but I do sympathize with all those who got dumped on..Been there seen that when I lived in southern Ontario..

Right now it is beautiful and sunny but only 45 degrees. We were lucky with Nemo. Only had about 6 ". Last night we only had a couple of inches of snow.

Anyone out east wanna borrow my Polaris Ultra triple?? Not doing me any good here in Illinois. Probably would do it some good to actually run it and put a few miles on it. Idling in the garage just doesnt cut it......
