P500 Heavy snow

[Badblubug]

Welcome fellow Yooper

We're planning a group ride on Drummond Island next summer, [HASHTAG]#yoopertakeover2020[/HASHTAG]

I’ve been thinking of a Drummond island trip, what dates are you going? I’ve also been thinking of a trip from Watersmeet to the Keweenaw, are the trails from Watersmeet to the Keweenaw mostly old rr grade?

Just raked leaves and mowed the grass here....

It's looking like another 8 - 12 inches is forecasted for Saturday, nothing that the Honda can't handle. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

 

[Russ989]

Additional snow accumulations of 8 to 15 inches. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph.....Anyone else getting pounded?

None of that here, don’t take this the wrong way but you can keep it!

I’m ready.. plows on the Honda
Happy thanksgiving all....

No offense taken here Russ, just make the best of it... wait for the groomers to groom the trails than go for a trail ride...

I thought about Power Steering, but I'm having a hard time talking myself into spending $500 for it.

Wow, most snow I ever saw was 21 inch blizzard near Norfolk Va. , an area not prepared for that. The national guard was called in, and I ran paramedic calls and winched out emergency vehicles and a road grader using my FJ40. Had a police radio call sign Mobile Medic. Had a blast 4 wheeling on the city’s dime.

You should really spend it and get it!!

 

[Mudder]

Power steering well worth it for sure.

No snow here, just enjoying the sun, gumbo, college football, and deer camp......

The amount of snow we get now is nothing compared to 40 to 50 years ago....as a kid I recall walking the snowbanks and grabbing hold of the telephone wires...some storms back in those days dropped snow as deep as flat bed trailers...now when a storm is in the making I get a 30 pack of beer and sit in the front porch and watch it sometimes complaining about how far off the forecast was and lack of snow that dropped.

No kidding.... we're under a "WINTER STORM WARNING!!!!" for 6-10" of snow..... seriously?

My old man grew up in the UP, used to tell stories about looking for his car with a broom handle.
