I'm hoping for this weekend....
Re: first ride of 2012
Nice!
We had a little on the ground for about 1 hour here the other day, but while I was at work.
Nothing like THAT though.
Good thing you were ready!

Re: first ride of 2012
WE GOT SNOW...
At least a ft of fresh powder and even got to go ditch bashin....
My neck is killing me, even powered through a low spot in a swamp with a ft of water under the snow...though the track was a bit froze up the next day...I went night riding and turned left instead of right.......
Downside.....my snowblower is dead....runs on spray.....so it looks like I need to pull the carb off....ugh...200+ft of driveway is a pain in the butt to shovel by hand....
FYI-Using the sled to pack down the snow hoping to drive on the compacted snow is a bad idea....just means you have to shovel HEAVY COMPACTED snow....
