I'm in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I think we got a little over 20" of snow. I shoveled for 3 hours before I could even use my snow blower. I really.....really wish I could move to so cal or AZ.

How about this--it's 68* at 2:30 AM right now,like a beautiful spring evening,no work the next 4 days,--righteous ***** of a Harley in the garage, and I'm laid up with gout.

Well, at least I can open my bedroom window tonight.

i think if i lived up there i would build a car port/tunnel on my drive way.that may seem too ghetto for your neighborhood i dont know.maybe even a heated driveway....or f it and just use a flame thrower.i have always wanted to shovel snow for some reason but i would have gotten my fill with your drive.
heres a confession-i think you guys up north appreciate riding more than warmer climated people do.it also seems yall get more done with projects as well.i guess you guys use yalls time more wisely.

After spending some quality time with the snowshovel last night, the awesome new England riding weather piles up 7 feet high on the sides of the driveway. If it snows any more, I just don't know where to put it. No snowblower heretho, I just become one with the shovel.

as much as I love Texas, and our great riding season is about 11 months long.... it's 21 degrees and we're expecting 2 inches of snow tonight.

where is Gore's global warming when you need it?!

That's where we are at, running out of room. Shoveled off the roof to the garage yesterday as well as the drive and my parking on side street.

I became one with the Ariens though. Only shoveling was the roof with a ladder. Can't buy a roof rake anywhere.....
