Thumbs down Winter war zone

Is what it looks like here. Down trees, wires, tree fires, 0ver 15 inches of wet snow. How are you other north east guys doing? No power expected for days. My bike is serving as a fuel barge for my generator. I can only imagine what the trails look like.

Now it's "climate change."

We had the same deal in Minneapolis 20 years ago. 20 years ago tomorrow. Stuff happens.

Good luck to our Northeastern Brothers.

We had 16 here,, no power outage but all around us did.. trees down everywhere.. Lucky for us we had our fall change already and most trees changed and dropped.. those that held leaves(blamed on wet summer) snapped.. but good news.. trails are almost melted.. and doesnt look like S. Jersey got snow.. Hammer should be good.. My 59/12 combo is going on tonight!

If you want a fresh look of what ridding look like here in QC, here's a video I made of our yesterday ride. 32F when we started. I broke my camera mount 15 minutes from the start. A KTM guy was on fire Check my other videos if you want. I don't want to hiijack this tread Glad to see some members here know and went where I live. Be safe with mother nature everyone

I prefer singletrack...We made open trails

Oh, and sorry to hear about the crap dumped on the east coast today. We started a ride last week at 40F and the trails were mostly covered in leaves, but if the snow came down state right now we'd have bunch of trouble as well.
