Not here. We might get some rain from that, though.

At least I'm pretty well set if the power goes out.

Sorry, but you got a long way to go. Pics below are what happens when a 100 + foot maple tree pisses me off.

Summer is still going strong here , the air conditioner has not had a break yet, my wife sets it at 70.
Going to Buffalo NY in the morning BURRRRR.

Sounds like a nasty little storm headed your way.
Mostly severe nice here, cooling to the mid 60's for highs this weekend, then back into the 70's, not what you wanted to here, I know.
Just lay in some beer and enjoy.

Excellent, get them things fired up!
Had my first ride last weekend. Testing out the new sled, and it worked great, but running a little fat (not getting all 200 horsies yet)! :) Snow was awesome, managed to get stuck several times. We did get chased off the mountain by a NWS blizzard warning (it was really starting to dump).
We're supposed to get something like 4 feet of fresh in the mountains here by next weekend, so if you don't get enough there, come out this way. Although these storms are probably heading your way anyway, so you could just wait for them there.

Well dang it! We only got like 2" of snow here. It blew like crazy last night, still is a lil. I can't ride the bike or the sled!
The wind chill is down to 7 so it's a bit nipply out at the moment.

2 inches here in Cleveburg, lake effect kicking in today and tonight. This is nothing.

And this is way cool for your truck! First one that I've seen that doesn't require you to remove the wheels, just drive up and latch on!
