hey guys,
now this may all sound fun and all, but it ain't as good as you think. My buddy's Recon Won't move, my boss will just barely move, my expedition will still hall, and the road commission won't plow out in the sticks so the road is 3 feet deep! on second thought, it is as good as you think

cya guys

Boss,
I hear ya,I started plowing at 5:30am this morning.I finished at 3:30pm this afternoon with a one hr lunch break.
Im the neighborhood hero,I finished plowing out 8 drivways in that time.We accumulated 14 inches of snow with worse snow drifts.Im very happy I had a TRUE AWD quad instead of the limited slip diffs seen on most 4x4s.The Mudrunners sure did a nice job to,
Bill

Oh boy, that was some storm! Hey Bill did you see all those snowmobiles going down the road like they are cars? All morning long people were ripping up and down perry road on their sleds. I was sitting at the stop light in downtown Grand Blanc and I hear something and look over and there are 3 sleds in the lane next to me. I got to get back into snowmobiling!!!!

Why did you leave the marvelous world of snowmobiling? You are crazy!
I guess it's the same snow that reached Montreal today...I had an exam this morning, seeing the snow outside...I couldn't concentrate...just thinking about going snowmobiling. In fact I did. The VMax4 started after 10 pulls (not bad after sitting 5 months with no other care than shutting down the engine last march). Went riding for 1/2 hour (not much fuel) in 1 foot deep snow...aaaaaaah snowmobiling is so much better than ATVing!! It's smooth, fast...wow!!! I was waiting for this moment since august!
I'm afraid the shee will be abandonned this winter...it will never go through 1 foot of snow...or will it?

rnl,
Yah buddie,I seen alot of quads and snowmobiles out yesterday,including mine.I live in Burton near Richfield and Genesse roads,they were everywhere.We had that State of Emergency alert out until 11pm last night,so it is ok to truck around on your sleds/quads then.We might be getting an additional 3-5 inches of snow tonight,hope so,
Bill

We got that same storm that came from Illinois and michigan up here in Ontario Canada...I had a snow day and was off school. Sounds like we didn't get hit as bad as the U.S. did.

We got around 10in. and there is still more coming for tonight(maybe 5in.)

I took the day off and plowed out driveways, I made $160, and my buddy who was at it into the night made over $200! We found out the limitations of his 00'Honda 450 pretty quick, but not my 95'Sportsman. I was the one who busted through the knee deep snow to plow the snow out to the road. I was also the one who pushed back the piles becuase his quad three wheeled when it got deep and hard to push. We also made time to play, I found I can do a nasty doughnut putting the quad in high and cranking the steering to the left and gunnin' it. I was going so fast last night it took 7 or 8 revolutions to stop spinning after I let of the gas! It was a total blurr! I beat out some kid on his Blaster doing that one.
Every one should be out riding in the snow!
