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 love the chat with the ladies and the old guy on the quad - solid gold! Looks like you've got a little of everything except sand - was that Cambrian rock you were navigating at the end?
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.

I feel bad for you guys in the snow country(o.k. not that bad). Just did a hare scramble today and it was nearly 90 out, sweating like a pig still in AZ. I cant imagine riding in the snow....to much!
must be hard to ride in the 90's this time of the year...

I got off easy here on the shoreline. Only an inch or so on the grassy surfaces. The lights flickered quickly. Other parts of Connecticut got hit pretty hard with 18 or 20 inches in places. Something like 750,000 people still without power in the state, and overnight lows in the mid 20's F... there are going to be a lot of frozen pipes.
Riding in light snow is fun. I'll never forget Dave Gunn winning the MMC Turkey Run, in two or three inches of snow, on a CR500 with studded tires. He passed me three times in a five lap race. LOL. Yes, I was slow, but you should'a seen the way this guy was floating through the woods. It was beautiful.

Same here on the RI coast. All the snow has melted.
I got passed by Dave Gunn at the King Philip TR last year.
He was by me before I could get out of his way in a technical section.

20 inches at my house October , are you f-ing kiding. I went out Saturday night just before we lost power to get gen gas and Had to chain saw my way to town.
I got caught with my pants down. New house to me , That was not ready for this. I did not have a great way to cook any way My gas stove just quit last week,, Bought an electric wall oven and induction cooktop , Was going to spend the weekend installing it.(I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel)
I am lucky to have multiple generators, The one I hooked to my well pump/furnace went through a period of protest, apperentlly barely running.(my wife witnessed it but did not shut it off.
) This is the one gen that does not switch of the output untill the under voltage is addressed and the gen reset. No thermall protection on the pump. The pump did not like the 60 volts or so,, Installing a new well pump late sunday night. I took the day off yesterday to get everything needed in the house runnig correcttly on Gen.
Ironiclly i am in the power buissness, and I cant get my own sh.. together.
