Sat, update, the snow run WILL be the SNOW run !!

 

[Scoop]

Yeah, looking like the most snow we have ever had for an MEB Snow Run! I hope the roads are OK going up - I plan on leaving in a couple of hours to minimize the drive after dark and in falling temps.

See everyone there! ;D

Sat, update, the snow run WILL be the SNOW run !!

I got 4 inches on the ground here just north of Philly and Rausch should have 6-8 inches of fresh stuff.

The main and most secondary roads are clear. The main roads to Rausch should be clear in the morning Sat so this is still on. Let us know if your not going to make it.

If your running late Sat give me a call on the cell phone and we'll wait for you.

Ironically it may be the snow that keeps me away from the Snow Run... We've already got over 6 in North Jerz, on the way to 10 or more - with the freezing rain & sleet expected overnight into the morning.

Thanks, have fun and post pics!

Chris, if something changes and I head out I'll give you a call.

Snowing real hard here in Ct and heard 84 west is backed up. I think we might have to cancel. Towing to Bronco's in the snow for 5 hours doesn't seem like fun. We are going to make a decision around 4 does anybody know how 84 west is ?

4" snow and rainin here now. Supposed to stop by midnight all the way along my route (195W/NTP-S, PA TPW, NE EXT, and 78W). Not too worried except from the NE extension westward. Going to make a decision around midnight depending upon what I can find out about the ice/sleet.

if it doesn't look pretty good for the morning by 11 tonight, I'm probably not going. Talk of 1/4 inch of ice near allentown , which I go right by on my way.

OX keep us posted on what you are doing. We don't want to trailer on ice thats for sure. We will just have to see everybody at the next event. Mikes really bummed he work hard on his Bronco to go and this would be its maiden voyage.

Yep, shooting for 9am to line up for a group photo.

Last year Pa screwed up bad during a bad storm. I think they did pretty good for this one and the roads should be in good shape in the am. They are in good shape now.

 

[csjr]

87 degrees here tomorrow....
