Got Snow?

It's been a white wintery not so wunderland here in Minnesota this year, and I know many other places as well.

Matter of fact, this year in Minnesota, we broke the all time record in the month of December for snow fall, and the snow has not stopped yet. It just keeps coming and coming and coming. It's like the Energizer Bunny on Viagra doing porn.

Being an insurance adjuster, I think I've handled more interior water damage claims caused by ice dams due to the repeated large snow falls this year than any other year before. Correction, I know I have.

Mrs. M. refers to this year as "Snowmageddon".

So for me and all of the other snow bound riders out there who won't be riding any time soon, I am posting this to lighten our spirits.

Below is an aerial photo of the average upstate NY & New England commute for folks these days....



O.K. after seeing this, I'm convinced it is not so bad here and I am officially done bitchin about the Minnesota snow....(Maybe).
NOW THAT'S A LOT OF SNOW!

    Holy Cow! I'd like to see the snow plow that made that path!

    Your gonna make me feel guilty posting pictures of me riding in the bright sunshine! Stay warm and dry!

    In the "misery loves company" category, I'm glad to see I'm not suffering alone.

    That's a great photo, except the cars are driving on the left, and I don't know of any country that does that that also gets any accumulation of snow. Photoshop is suspected. :)

    Good point there Canajun. It does look a little too perfect and those plow blades would have to be pretty damn huge. I'm suspecting a little photo shop magic too now that I look at it closer. No matter what, a little snow is too much snow!!!
