Family duties will keep me off the bike.
Back in '78 I was living in Hartford, CT and had a GF living in an A-frame right on Coventry Lake (CT). The Governor announced the roads were going to be closed for two days. I jumped in my '66 Karman Ghia (with the old 6-volt system) drove to the packy and bought a case of Bass Ale. Pointed that VW east on I-84 and drove through the start of the blizzard so I could get snowed in with her. And, the Bass Ale of course. Got snowed in but I have some very fond memories of that storm.
