AKrider said:The weather service has told us the jet stream moved and is bringing us one big storm after another, kind of like a conveyor belt. Last winter we were dry, cold and extremely windy. Now that it changed we've received over 270" of snow this season. I've hardly got to ride because all I do is move snow.
My driveway.
Another angle.
I would like to see what you are moving all that snow with? Here in PA I havent even brought my snow equipment down off the pallet racks yet
I work in the motorcycle industry and its good for buisness but its bull that I am busier in december than I was in september when the hurricane and floods occured.
I move snow with a combination of a Honda 1132 snow blower and a skid steer. Last winter we were fortunate enough to be able to buy a used Case 1845C. Before that I also used our family's plow truck from time to time but they are of limited capability because the snow gets so wet, heavy and deep that a pick-up has trouble pushing it.
I had to dig out the sides of our 1 story shop building because the snow was up to the eves. The building has 10' walls and as the snow slides off the roof it piles up and there was no place for it to go.
The town of Cordova that is south of us on Prince William Sound has received over 200" of snow and declared a state of emergency. They had two big buildings collapse and their building codes and construction are not set up for such a quantity of snow or snow loads on roofs. The National Guard is sending people in to help move snow.

Nice videos Ricky, definitely long track conditions. Looks like the pipeline right of way across the bay.

Yeah the vid's were from Friday. This is the 141 Powerclaw. My fuel controller quit on my Friday afternoon so I had to wire my wastegate open to keep it from making boost and run on the stock computer. I am so impressed with the powerclaw. I just had not had been able to compare it to last year since I was running boost and last year was stock with a 144x2.5 CE. I would like to compare the two boosted.

Not enough snow here to ride either. The groomer is still parked. Last year we were riding at the beginning of December. I have this felling that the trails won't open this year and we will have to trailer to the snow.

I'm starting to think the same thing. This is the worst season that I can remember. Usually you can trailer 3 hours and find good riding at the very least. This year I think you'd have to go north 8 hours to find it.
Confused?

Haha I can go an hour and find decent snow... Hopefully my parents let me take of work and go up there lol
