Winter Storm = Snowmobiling!!

in life •  6 years ago 


I've been watching the winter storm warnings all week, and it has finally arrived! This was the view from my bedroom window this morning...

...and my front door:

They said eight to fourteen inches, looks like for once the weather channel was spot on!

So what does that mean for us? Sledding! Of the motorized variety :) Here's a few minute clip from the GoPro strapped to @call-me-howie's head, roaring down back roads with my eldest stepson and his best buddy:



If you're in the Northeast of US, stay warm! It's going to be a freezing, but fun, few days!

Ach!! You don't even have to search for snow because dem white things just keep pouring down your front door! That looks magical! Would love to try mobiling one day!

That looks crazy fun, enough to forget how cold it is I bet!

Enough to find reasons to appreciate the winter for sure :) I'm hoping we can get some downhill skiing in too, that's the winter sport I'm most fond of!

Nice! That's a great way to enjoy that snow!

Yes, yes it is! :)

Awesome pictures:)

Here in Providence we got snow and rain, massive rain coming down now - and the temperature is still above freezing - though they forecast a rather cold night.

Whereabouts did you take these pictures, if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you!

I love Providence! My cousin's husband grew up there and he loved taking us on tours of his stomping grounds (until they moved to Vermont a couple years ago, talk about coollldd)- I really love the stone walls that seem to be everywhere, high quality masonry :)

We live about twenty miles north of Ithaca, in between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes :)

Looks like fun!

It's super fun, but the temp is dropping right now, gets less fun when it's below zero with the windchill! (-20 celsius)

From my favourite Boomtown Rats album

First time I'm hearing them, groovy sound, like the name too :)

Do you remember a year or so ago, saying you didn't like punk, and I said I had some punk you would like? I did a couple of posts, including a different Boomtown Rats song. But I don't know that you ever saw them. Maybe time to check them out again?

I do remember, and yes, yes I shall check them out :)

Enjoy the snow. We got winter in Norway too after a very shifting season so far.

I'm hoping that the temperatures rise just a little, not enough to melt it, but enough to make downhill skiing much more fun :)

I cross my fingers 😊

Haha! Thanks! :)

All that snow has to be good for something other than being cold I guess? XD

That and downhill skiing...once upon a time building snow forts, snow men, regular sledding and snow ball fights, but now pretty much snow mobiles and skiing ;)

He should go hang out with Larry. :)

Is that a trailer park boy? Love the mullet....what a nut! My son asked Howie "Would you try that across the water thing?" Howie's like Fuck no. Hahaha!

Wow they look magic, the video really shows the speed. I want one and the snow to go with it!

Haha! You'll just have to make a winter visit to our place one of these years ;)

Heavy snow all around have fun and take care also enjoiiii

I will! :)
