2 feet of snow!!!

Now THAT would cripple us.

But am glad it’s good for business there and hats off to the people of Wasilla! You’ve got the “right stuff”, that’s for sure!

Two feet of snow may be a lot to a lot of people I admit, I have lived in the Sierra Mountains at Lake Tahoe where they have seen 5-10 feet snowfalls but there is some pretty advanced snow removal equipment there and they can clear the roads in hours. In my state its almost a requirement to have a snowblower like I do and 4WD vehicles WITH snow tires, and yes indeed just about any truck or contraption with 4wd around here including ATVs people will use as a snowplow and they head out like a well taught army and hit all the businesses and they get well payed.

I even saw a Subaru once with a homemade plow! Frankly I am glad for snow and one of these days I will get a decent snowmachine, right now I’m into motorcycles and I just bought a new Yamaha, obviously it will wait till spring.

Our snow around here is dry and crystal like and its easy to drive through, its like cotton candy, I’ve seen wet stuff in Illinois that would give credit to concrete so all of you in the lower 48 have my sympathy in that regards, 2 feet here in the last couple of days has not really hurt us and like I said earlier is a jumpstart for our winter time economy.
