Bring on the Snow

[Wobbegong]

Snowing softballs in CT right now...

 

[walter]

OK, been snowing by me for about an hour now. I need to re-clean the commode.

 

[seanrunnette]

HPCX will be epic.

447 riders registered. 105 in Cat 4 alone. How many derailleurs are gonna have to die?

 

[bonefishjake]

I have said this before but I'll repeat it. Between 30-40 degrees plus rain is war zone material. You need to prepare for the worst. 25 and snow is easier to ride in than this. It is 31 and rainy snow where I am now. Dress for a winter war zone.

i was FREEZING the last 20 minutes of my ride. Everything was just soaked. i must have dumped 6 oz of water out of my winter shoes

it is snowing like crazy here. i've got 2" on the ground already.

 

[Chris(NJ)]

Yep, snowing like crazy here too. Just posted the same info in the mtn man thread, but we have a bunch of trees and limbs down. That didnt take very long 🙁

 

[NJMX835]

Couple inches up here already. Felt like I was losing my toes in Wawayanda today, but fun ride nonetheless. Still, it's WAY too early for this crap, lol

 

[Carson]

Lambertville, Whitehouse, and Branchburg have already lost power.

 

[bonefishjake]

we're up to about 4" now. lots of down'd limbs and trees.

 

[walter]

is it sticking on the roads up by you guys, or is it just on the grass?

 

[soulchild]

Edison roads are just slushy... Jake where do you live?

 

[Jeremy]

4 inches here too. Roads are covered.

 

[Dr Superb]

This is terrible. Plus we keep losing our power...on and off...

roads, grass, trees...everything.

Same all the way up here. Trees falling everywhere

 

[GratefulRider]

All we have is rain at Hartshorne, but at least a few inches.

Any pictures from Jamesburg?

At what point does epic just become stupid?

 

[MMuller]

Jamesburg tomorrow, no? That place is muddy when it's dry. Can't imagine tomorrow.

 

[Norm]

At what point does epic just become stupid?

About 4 hours ago I'd think.

 

[GratefulRider]

I'm staring down a 6 pack of Sierra Nevada Autumn nut brown ale.....thinking the same thing.

Edit**** decision made.

 

[pixychick]

I just spent 12 hours driving and cleaning for a 40 minute race. Stupid , yes. I may stay home tomorrow.

We lost power here in New Milford about 3 hours ago. I am glad my lights were fully charged as they are coming in pretty handy right now. I will be spending tomorrow clearing branches and the remains of my bbq grill that is sitting covered underneath a 20 foot branch, a little flatter than it should be. This truly sucks. Time for some more board games with the family.
