Their is a big winter storm comin through the south right now and its been sleeting all day and everything is covered in ice, all the roads are slush, ppl are drivin at like 10mph, and everything is frozen. Now its startin to turn into snow, and its supposed to start snowin real heavy later. Cant wait, this is awesome, we hardly get any winter weather till late january. But it just pisses me off, if i had a quad i could be havin so much damn fun right now...i just go outside and look around, and it burns me up......wish i had a f^ckin 400ex.

anybody else in the south gettin hit?

this is weird, probably sets records locally but... monday it was near -20 degrees with the wind chill and we had a 2 hour delay. today it was near 60 degrees! 80 degree temperature change within a few days is radical. everyone was outside today washing there cars and i'm thinking it shoudl be near sub 0 and a foot of snow on the ground right before christmas.

:eek2: :eek2: OMG the sleet has been comin down twice as fast for the past like 4 hours, and everything is COVERED, atleast 6inches of sleet on the ground! all the cars are doin like 4 mph, lol its hilarious...and tonight were supposed to get a ton of snow :blah: CANT WAIT!! white Christmas here we come!

And its 10pm right now, its usually pitch black outside, but since the ground is covered in white snow/ice, its reflecting all the light rays everywhere and its actually real bright. I wish i had a digital camera to take a picture, its freakin crazy lookin. Looks like some horror movie because its like, orange outside. It looks like 10 min. after sunrise, u can see perfect. It might sound weird, but i wish u guys could see it, its so creepy

It was like that here lastnight .... I almost had to close the blinds in my room to keep the light out ( lil exageration but ya know) . Those are pretty fun nights though .... when we get liquered up at our ice fishing shack , atleast we got light to walk home afterwards .... it is pretty freaky though .:p

lol yah, it pisses me off, cuz i dont have a quad yet, and its perfect weather and oppurtunity to ride. Coulda gone slidin all over the street doin crazy donuts and stuff, Sucks ballz...oh well, if i keep up workin good hours on my job, i should have a truck and 400ex by next winter :D :D

and to let everyone who doesnt have a job or wutever yet know, it makes things alot easier and more enjoyable if u have a goal...my goal is truck first (only way i can haul a quad), then get the 400ex. Those are my goals, and it makes me kinda enjoy going to work and stuff. ehhh you'll understand

thats awsome man, sucks you can't ride right now but you are making your own way and thats way cool, i bought 2/3 of my quad and all of my car and it does feel good being totally yours and you got it cause you worked your *** off.

what kind of truck you want?

and keep it up, good for you!:muscle:

edit: oh and its like 5-16 degree's around where i live this week

I GOT A WARNING YESTERDAY BY THE DNR. RODE MY QUAD DOWN TO THE POST OFFICE AND THE GAS STATION. DNR CHECK ME AND 3 OTHER QUADS TO SEE IF THEY WERE REGERISERED. WELL MINE WASN'T. I DON'T NORMALLY RIDE ON THE RODES SO I NEVER BOTHERED. THE DNR OFFICER WASN'T BEING A** ABOUT IT AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS OKAY TO RIDE ON THE RODES AFTER HE GAVE ME THE WARNING. BUT HE STILL HAD TO RUN MY DRIVERS LICENSE TO SEE IF I WAS WANTED FOR ANYTHING. THEN WE TALKED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES ABOUT ATV ISSUES AND HE LET ME GO.
