I'm not jealous of you guys, but I find the things you do to be fascinating. Very nice.

I had several different sleds through the years. I also raced when I was much younger. Gilles Villieneuve was someone that I looked up to at the track and was in his pit area many times. He was as I like to say, the inventor of the independent front suspension on snowmobiles. I talked to the crew many times, but Gilles did not talk, as I think he did not know English, only French. It was a sad day when he died.
After talking to his crew and then being drafted into the US Army, going to school as a Hawk Missile Technician and serving at Ft. Bliss/El Paso, TX and White Sand Missile Range I came home and put my plans together.
I built a snowmobile from 3 different brands and 5 different years of parts. 1st race entered, garnered 2nd place in Modified. Then made several more improvements. It was called, the JD Pol-Cat. Parts from John Deere, Polaris, and Arctic Cat. And of course, a Stars and Stripes hood, red, white and blue.

The only place in Ohio that would have been getting that much snow from this storm are the extreme NE corner of the state, east of Cleveland, Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties. I heard reports of 16-18 in some places, know another member in CLE eastern suburbs who had 6, we only had a trace here in Akron.

The older I get the less I like winter, the more I want to move somewhere that has no snow or much milder winters. Retirement is a ways off (5-7 years) but since I'm now a work at home person, I could move anywhere that I can get decent internet connection.

Steve, Do I hear a move to an island?? Maybe not, then hurricanes.

We had a total of about 4-5 inches this past week, and now the news said it may all be gone in about a week.
At least it was not like Buffalo, NY with 5-6 feet, depending on the area and who reports it.
See attachment. This was sent to me when I was still working in Tech Support.

Working from home is already a bit like a deserted island ;) Plus most islands don't have enough good paved roads to provide for lots of quality motorcycling.

Good internet without paying a fortune will be necessary.

I was looking at some pictures from the big snows we had last year, first in a few years for this area, with two weekend storms in mid-late January that each dumped 12-18 inches (with it mostly melting in between after warmth and rain).
