I know of what you speak. I grew up in Vermont and know only too well how hard this winter is/has been/will be for everyone that in some way gets a
positive economic impact from a normal winter. The trickle down of hurt goes through so much and so many people.
Lemonade definitely in hand with your non-bundled up buggying! :karate:

If it's any consolation, then know that Europe is equally dry.
In the Alps some of the ski lifts are still used for downhill mountain biking.

Just got back from skiing in Utah and they got 4 feet a few days before we arrived. Boom or bust it seems.

Fantastic film. Great direction and special effects.
Perhaps deriving or at least owing to the great Sylvain Saudan ?........

Not to spoil the fun, Bladerunner, but the guy in that video died in an avalanche or something a couple years back. There was another film those guys
made before he died:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2673812/. I thought the first one was better, but the second was interesting also.
