Driving in the snow is great fun BUT, all roads were closed, no travel advised.
There was an average of 3.5 feet of snow in my driveway, hardpacked by the wind.
-20 degrees, with -45 windchill
Not my idea of fun... today would have been a great day to go play however.
High of 0, but sunny and somewhat calm. All roads were open by 2:30pm and life was somewhat back to normal.

One funny story. Some guy decided yesterday evening that he needed milk. All roads had been closed for hours. He takes off anyway, to a town about 30 miles away, and of course gets stranded. It takes 2 State plow trucks and a road grader to get to him, along with a couple state troopers for the rescue.
In the end, he gets fined $1000 PLUS has to pay the wages and expense of all the equipment used to rescue him... and he never did get his milk!

what a dumbass.

Here are a few pics of my driveway this morning. Took about an hour and a half with a 10 horse 30" cut snowblower to clear it.

Pic from the corner of my garage looking to driveway.



Standing in front of Garage, looking toward street



Standing in street, looking at garage right after the city plow went through.



After it's all cleaned out.



Lots of fucking snow.

Our "city plow" consists of 2 pieces of equipment.

1. a Versatile bi-directional tractor with a snowblower and a blade

2. an old beat up chevy pickup with a plow on the front.

THey had only made one pass with just the plow when I cleared my driveway. I actually do more street cleaning with my snowblower than they do.

Now I don't feel quite so bad about the cold front that just moved through here. Yesterday it was in the mid 80's and today's high was 51! Tomorrow promises to be even cooler.

new tires....

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

the fact that they are new, dif brand than previous, alil more performance orientated than touring, and i went to a 180/55 from the 190/50 that was on there (5.5inch rim) makes for a new way sweeter handling bike. me likes



however-the fact that it made such a dif lets me know i waited longer than i shouldve to put new rubber on-oops
