Well how about this for a nice winter start. What do most ATVers look forward to in the winter? Riding in the snow!! That is all I have talked about with my buddies for the last couple weeks. Well, I had to have surgery to take care of the fluid I was retaining on my a$$, err hip. So I go in for surgery yesterday and what happens? We get snow today!!! 3" of it sitting in my front yard and I can't go ride!!! :mad: I have 2 tubes coming out my hip for drains for the next few weeks so I am going to miss this entire round of snow. And guess what, we only get 1 snowfall every year. So, chances are I get screwed this year!!!

On a lighter note, I am going to force Kim (the wife) to go ride in it tommorrow so I can get a picture. I will probobly crop her out of it and put me in it so I can at least pretend it was me having fun.

We currently have 16in of snow sitting on the ground here and it's still coming down like a blizzard and is supposed to till early morning. I tried getting out my old Foreman today and even w/the big tires and all, it had trouble getting around.

how much snow do you guys usually get down in southern IL, we usually get 6-10 at one time at its highest point? I'm sitting here right in the middle and we haven't even had a flake fall this week. It looks pretty bad though on news for you guys, I would have been happy to take about 2" from you.

We got a crazy amount of snow and ice. The snow was so deep it was higher than the bottom of my car door this morning. Not a drift, the leeward side. It had to be at least 20" of soft snow and ice. I hate this s**t! The wife wants to go ride in it, but I grew up in MI. I could go a lifetime without it.

I had to shovel out the front and then just plowed the rest down with our car. Once I hit the road I never slowed down and hit snow drifts like I was jumping a log! The wipers quit working halfway in. And then 30 people called in sick and there was only me and the boss here.
