I'm not surprised. We have had big crashes each of the last 4 weekends. Most were just broken bones, not sure on the death count for VT this year. I'm pretty sure it was just the 1 teenager 2 weeks ago.

snowmobiles are just like motorcycles but without as many people trying to kill you.
stupidity is always rewarded quickly.

Not that quickly... Otherwise very few would survive to 25.

Partially true
I would prefer to fall off into a snowbank than onto hot rough pavement

They are calling for a storm warning in this area starting Tuesday AM, they don't know after it starts to rain tonight if it will switch over to snow, or just turn into freezing rain. I'll tell ya, I have had it with the freezing rain here this year...

Must be the same storm that is supposed to get here Tues nite into Wed, calling for another 3" of snow along with the ice.
I"m really going to be looking for spring next week after we go back on daylight savings time Sunday.
