We didn't get nearly as much as south of here but we don't have much more room for pushing it. The drive home was nuts. Blizzard in Fondy county and just like someone flipped a switch at the Winnebago county line.

Sure was nice having the TLC this week! They plowed me in at work on Wed. but "Freewheelin' Franklin" (My 97CE) didn't even spin a tire blasting through the drift. Had up to 20" around us but I only had about 15" at my house. I have had just about enough winter for one season. Ready to head south in a couple weeks. Not taking the 4WD down, taking the 3 wheeled, 1WD (sidecar rig). Daytona or Bust!

apparently 2000 cars were stranded along I90 from Stoughton to Janesville . My Paint salesman told me it took him 3 hrs. to drive from Madison to Janesville.

What race? The 500? or the 200? I will see planty of racing at the DIS but mostly the historic and vintage bikes is what I go for. Not really a big Neckcar fan, but will be watching it this weekend in my basement theater. Having a tropical themed party banana daquiri's and all.
Plan is to depart the frozen tundra on 2/25. Got another 4-6" yesterday and 4 more forecast tomorrow.

Must have gotten another foot in Fondy. No place to go with snow now. I hope this Sunday isn't a repeat of yesterday.

I think the idea was to use your TRUCK to do the yanking....

Fondy got more rain than snow, the lot is a mess. I also have water bubbling up in one corner of our north lot. It's around zero out there. It keeps coming through the ice and the slush is about six inches in a couple spots. It can't be good. We have no buildings or water lines down there. We do have several storm drains down there. We chiseled all of the ice free from them. They are not the water source. To bad whatever the source is happens to be down hill from the road and the storm drains. Nice site plan.

I just got back from Fort Collins Co. I80 through Iowa City had @150 to 200 cars still scattered along the road. Some spots looked like a junk yard cars upside down on top of other cars. Sure glade I missed that mess.

I 80 corridor can be absolutely wicked. I've met some nice people in Nebraska over the years due to the orange gates being closed on that road.
