I will. I've always wanted to ride on the highways and if it hits us like it's supposed to (they're saying my area just SW of the city is in the 27" range) I'll be all over the roads. Probably be busier helping people out than anything.

You just might be cruising the highways on the snowmobile.

Well, it's snowing here and 17* F, supposed to get 3 or 4" and be below zero F tomorrow. We're pretty lucky in the low country here (about 5460' where I live)...we've had about 12.5" of snow so far this winter. In the high country, near Vail, Aspen, Snowmass and Steamboat Springs, they've had 12' or 14' or so...best skiing in years.



Har3ry, Coloradan, where snow is welcome

I've done that before.

Once the snow emergency is declared, and the only vehicles you see on the streets have a plow on the front, the streets are fair game.
Well, maybe not legally in the technical sense, but the authorities have many other real priorities at that point and would never bother with it.

And unless they're riding one too, there is about zero chance of them ever catching you.

I hope they do that here... WRX + snow tires = hours of fun for me

Someone asked me about that and I simply told them that my snowmobile is made to go 100 ON the snow. The cops don't stand a chance. I road the local roads years ago and the cops were giving us thumbs up. Like you said, they'll have plenty of real priorities to deal with.

This is going to be fun. Plenty of food, booze and vids. Told my boss I am working from home until the thaw and he told me he is doing the same.

And it's lunar New year so 80% of my customers are closed.

PUI here I come.

Not bad considering they were talking about 10-12 yesterday.

Went out in shorts and flip flops this morning to pick up the morning paper off the driveway.

Thinking about installing new shocks on the vette this morning and perhaps take it out later for a drive with the top off.

It just started snowing here. The last report I saw before going to bed last night showed up to 24" possible.

Hey Craig,

Hows real estate in your hood. The wife and I are done with freezing our asses off.

We're not supposed to get much more snow here either, but they were only predicting 7" max here as it was.

Supposed to get colder and windier than a mofo.

Shoveled a couple of inches of snow this morning. Not even worth firing up the snowblower.

Barb told me to get a couple of cases of beer on my way home from work. Gotta stock up for disasters, ya know.
