Got some extreme weather this week - more than 100 cm (40 inches) of snow over a 3-day period. The accumulation was so much that I was unable to ride. Nothing short of a Pugsley would have done for the conditions we experienced, and even that would have been a stretch. I was able to commute to work today; the main arteries were mostly clear, but side roads made for some hairy riding. Here are some pics illustrating the dumping we got:
My house
My 3-car driveway (thank God for my snowblower; it's in the garage along with about 7 bikes, which is why the car has to stay outside)
My backyard (there is a deck under there somewhere)
Looking North along my street
And South
My belt drive/IGH bike made short work of the snow today
