I agree, it's been a nasty day here in western WI. Last night it was -17 here with 25-35 mph howling winds all night and all day today. It's simply been evil cold out today.

Nasty cold here as well. Wind started last night around midnight, just like you had flipped a switch.

Darn near got the tractor stuck spreading manure, guess I'm back to stacking it again, and I was avoiding the big drifts!

Fields look like an ocean, you could go out and just bust your guts riding out there.
Not to worry, I'm too busy keeping the cows fed and milked to get out there.

Hi Guys,

It was a bit chilly in NY today too. I think it was about 15 degree's with a 30 to 40 MPH wind. Cari and I did our outdoor Christmas Card pic today, and the hit the local trails for about 3hrs. Attached are a few pic's we didn't use. By the end of the photo shoot, the wind was really picking up.

She rode on the back of my trail converted 2005 Cat 440 SnoPro 440, and was "toasty warm" on the back of sled in her words. Last year for Christmas I bought her new "Arctic Wear" so she would be warm at the SnoCross races and trail rides. Even with a nominal windshield, she was fine.

I did manage to work in the shop for about an hour tearing down 340/s clutches, but like Rich said, it was too cold to do much more by 9:00pm. Darn little heater didn't stand a chance at actually warming the little shop up.

I haven't seen snow like this in years in the Rochester area. I am loving it! Tim and Nick came down yesterday (Saturday) to steal parts, and dig sleds out of the barn. We did a ton of laps on Cari's Sprintfire, the 99 and 05 SnoPro's. Seems the 02 need a carb cleaning.

I don't heave to dream of a white Christmas, we are going riding in the Adirondacks...
