Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted January 12, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 12, 2020 Was a bust for the most part. They were calling for 18 inches of snow for the northern lower at one point and they ended up with 4 to 5 from the looks of it. Predicted .50 to .75 inches of ice for my area followed by snow and we barely got a a little bit thankfully. I almost went out and bought a new generator and made a suicide cord for it. Saved my money thinking it was all BS Greta!!! I wanted to do a shake down run with my trail sled before the upcoming weekend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's colder out and we got a tiny bit of snow and that's it but it sounds bad for some in the states.

SVT MXZ XRS Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Got a light coat of snow followed by freezing rain which turned into about 1/2-3/4" of ice. Made for an interesting ride in this morning. Saw 1 salt truck in 21 miles. Edited January 12, 2020 by SVT MXZ XRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I just went out and scraped the 1/8" of snow covering the 1/2" of icy slush from the drive and walk ways. Whatever this is will be a done deal by this afternoon. Forecast looks like warm temps, so much for doing any riding close to home next week. My bud is going up to Spooner next weekend maybe I'll join him. Edited January 12, 2020 by Anler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads are good around here . Wife drove her self and me nuts for 2 days because our son had to drive last night. She had herself convinced he was going to crash.
