Post by lil jeep mec »

No biggy here. So far its been very normal for this time of year. Ski resorts are all happy at least now.

I wish! It never snows here in the valley. But people here have a tough enough time
just driving in the rain. Rained all Christmas day so fog coming, guess that is white enough...

26" snow in 2 weeks, including new 4" on yesterday morning. The ground was dry and warm when it started to pile up so there is about 4-8" in the yard depending on drifts. It has barely been over freezing the last 3 days, ice is in the making and it is no longer 2WD friendly around here.

I went up to my cabin above Dayton wa and there was a good 3 feet in most spots, somedrifts more some open areas less... still haven't done anything with the motor. so I took snowmobiles up and for the first time I jumped one... its a 1982 Yamaha 136" track 1/2 in cleats used to be a 500 motor I believe and now its a built 650... before I got it it was a race sled, its quick just not much traction in 2 ft of powder...
