That's impressive.  When I went to school in Michigan, I learned to ride a
motorcycle in the winter...Lansing did NOT plow the roads....you simply
waited for the trucks and cars to pack the snow and then you rode on it.

I never mastered it though...I have several ugly scars from getting spilled
and having various machanical dohickies rake over legs and arms.

Here in Maryland....at the sight of more than 3 snowflakes most everyone
makes the ritual trip to the supermarket to buy Milk, eggs and toilet
paper....perhaps to make a Baltimore Omelete?
