At 11pm on my back deck in Ulster country N.Y. we just measured ten inches of snow.Riding season is officially over,for me anyway.

 

Glad that you made it home OK. A bit of advice for those of use who deal with snow in the winter; don't let your gas tank drop under the half-way mark before filling up. You never know when you are going to spend hours stuck in the snow.

Also, get yourself one of those lithium-ion battery starters. It can help start your car but can also provide cell-phone charge for up to two days.

 

maybe 10"here in Cooperstown NY. But nowhere near the traffic you must have faced downstate!!

 

We got about 5 inches on Long Island before it started switching over to rain...absolute mess driving home...traffic bad enough here with no weather...we got caught buy surprise with this one, was only supposed to be a coating.

 

Yea news said 3inc for orange country but we got 11inc. Fun Times ugghhhhh

 

As stated, Long Island was taken off guard. I left work at 2:40 PM, got home at 7:30 PM?!?!?!?! 48 miles by the way, 10 MPH average. Roads where crazy from the Bronx all the way home. Not one municipality had salted the roads or deployed plows. It wasn't a ton of snow, but the roads completely iced up, no traction unless you were running studded tires (which are illegal here). I blame the Towns on the Island, could have just been a bad commute, no reason for 4" of snow to shut the whole place down. Some one dropped the ball.

 

Yeah they definitely dropped the ball here in Westchester also. Theres a woman in our office who has an hour commute with good conditions. It took her 7.5 hours to get home... another guy has a 30 minute commute that turned into 3.5 and somebody else who lives 4 miles from him took 4 hours.

A friend of mine in Stamford CT had her 20 minute drive home turned into almost 4 hours also. Unreal.

 

Packed my bike away for Winter 2 days ago. Good timing, as we got 8+ inches here last night. In March, I'm trading her in.

 

 

The snow by me in Long Island is 99.999% gone. Like nothing happened. Crazy. Going to try to get a few miles in tomorrow.
