Title: Northeast storm Nemo.
Post by: MaxThrottle on February 09, 2013, 07:56:39 AM
Well we've got about 3 feet of new snow and even the Drifters are having a hard time in the deep snow. We put about 10-15 miles on 'em last night though. The kids had a blast....

3 feet!  We are coming to your house for NEOKaws!  We were wondering how you made out up there and thought the news reports were all hype.  I guess not so.

About 10 inches here on the farm and everything is running fine.

You got too much weight on the drifter for that much snow, lol... I actually try and stay light just so I can get the drifter floating in the deep stuff... I even ditched my electric start and battery for weight... Drifters are amazing deep snow machines with a person around 170 pounds, half a tank of gas and you can float most of the day!

Lucky guy I wish I had ur problems!

I took my 440 out today since we got hit here in Minnesota with 17" In one night. Did pretty good. But I only weigh 140 so not to much weight. Can't wait 4 tomorrow. Any more pics?

Had my invader on the lake for the winnepesaukee derby, and the snow was just too deep, powdery and dry. got stuck a couple times. i got a few good carves in. once the sun came out it made conditions a bit better though. got some video. all you could see was me, and the sled was completely buried by the snow.

We got out on the roads after the plows made a feeble attempt. Got some milk and some supplies for the neighbors baby. Ended up racking 30 miles on the sleds that night.
