hparaptor Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 100 km north of NY city and just barely a dusting. Very depressing. Guess I'm riding the atv again on the local trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnc Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I was watching it on the evening news tonight and thinking how we got cheated by Mother Nature and most of that storm will not be appreciated by the recipients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 1 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Sorry guys wish I could have steered this North, I am 10 miles from Allentown. Hard to get the prospective but this is a 8.5 HP blower not a small machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are you boys heading out next? Ah fond childhood memories of riding the roads in storms when growing up in NY. Fun back then just to watch the Police try to catch us. Next week starting on the Feb 3. Just another short run. Maybe just some runs from the house here out and back maybe one overnight not sure yet. Holding out for later in feb/early march. For a long ride. Crazy the frickin news coverage of a snow storm, I mean come on now, a bit out of control. Like it never snowed before ever.

Are from Quebec I personally could move the other half summer only. Kids are 2 @ 3 years out from college after that nothing holding me from a change. Not that I would ever sell completely out of Florida . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I would ever sell completely out of Florida . Before Quebec full time I left NY and lived close to 6 years on St. Croix in the USVI. I did 10 months beach and sun and 2 months sled time. Those were the days. The only kids I got have fur and they are smart, but not enough to go to college. I hope to get back to the point where I could do summers on the Island again someday.

Florida Snowman Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 How many Puddy Cats do you guys have now Don? I'm down to 1 cat & 3 little dogs now. Lost 2 cats in the last 2 years to old age. I bet you miss St. Croix sometimes. Does your big sis still have her restaurant there operating? I'm heading to Anquilla on Thursday. Always wanted to do sled & beach trips back to back! My dream is becoming reality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dream is becoming reality! 4 chats now. I miss St. Croix everday(more so when it's not winter). Yes my sister is holding down the fort on island. She is doing well. Hope to get down this summer for a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
