Just returned from St. Paul today in this blizzard and there are some huge drifts in the ditches. Cornices at the top just like in the mountains. Some are breaking off and coming down. 2 years ago similar issue in Quebec with slopes sliding down. I don`t think anything will happen but look for some serious driftbashing when this storm ends. Better wear you long undies gonna be chilly

Slightly warmer by Thursday. Might have to take the day off and beat all you guys out to the ditches and tree lines. LOVE drift busting!!!

Sounds like a plan Ron. if anyone is making plans post em on here. Just have to wait until it warms a bit. -45 today with Windchill. Supposed to go down to -39 tonight (not factoring chill) and -37 on Tuesday. A little cold for riding both for man and machine. S*#t breaks at this temp. Looking forward to putting some XP sized holes in a lot of snow on the weekend

Boys, Boys, Boys... just remember, those nice fluffy drifts you are all getting worked up over are going to be as hard as rock by the time this cold snap is over.. I just shoveled the snow in front of my house and it is already very hard :mad:
