I just shoveled about half a foot of wet, heavy snow. In hindsight, this was not a very good idea. Should've run the snowblower, but I wanted the exercise to work off some future holiday tonnage that'll get strapped to my frame.

How is everyone making out with this storm?
We have about 4" in the driveway. I would hardly call it a storm. I would let it sit, but the temps are going lower so it isn't going to melt anytime soon. Guess I'll have to breakdown and fire up the blower.

I'd say 4"-6" in the The "Southern Tier".

We got about 2 inches too. It wasn't too bad. The roads were all clear by the time I hit the road to get to work.

Well that sucked! Took an hour to travel my usual 20 minute commute. 10 minutes of that was a single intersection. Had an ambulance with lights and siren on stuck behind me with no where to go. I don't think I got above 18 mph the whole trip. Snow coming down fast enough that everybody's windows and lights were covered over. Supposed to clear up about noon and then start all over again for the evening commute.

Took me 20 minutes to get to work today. Longest it has ever taken.

Never got out of 2nd gear, never broke 20 mph. Not sure why it was so backed up. Roads were a little slick, but visibility was good.

Supposed to get another 1-3" today, but clear for now.

I picked up a couple goodies for the shop last night. Gotta make some room and reorganize but I'm excited to finally have these machines.

^^Nice! Wish you were closer. I'd throw a few bucks your way for tire mounting.

Put a sign on the garage door that says Jake's Speed Shop
