It is better but Shawn will remake the sleeves.

I think I need a biplane to complement this outfit

That’s what my wife said when I tried to wear my cross-button on a date-night.
Love the look on you, but a giant scarf would help.

That’s why I’ve got two blowers!! Ha. No but I really do. I have a big huge one for that widow maker snow. Then I have a small “pup” as it’s called for everything else. Growing up in Buffalo I’m used to snow. And sometimes snow 7 feet tall. I used to actually love shoveling for the exercise. But I’ve recently had a back injury I’ve been dealing with since September. PT and Chiro. I’m actually thankful it’s just a back issue. There was as part of the issue a pinched nerve that was causing bladder issues and I had run the gamut of super uncomfortable, painful, and awkward exams of the urology nature just to find out I endured it all, spent all the money and delayed therapy to find out it was a back issue. So having said all that, this tough seasoned veteran of Buffalo winters is now a wimp and all about snow blowers!

Dude Buffalo is no joke when it comes to snow. Yeah I make fun of my neighbors with blowers now ( not today mind you) but we’ve had a string of fairly light winters around here. If I were in Buffalo I might have a riding unit, like a kubota:

This is a fantastic collar!
It should be standard for 5* offerings...or at least have a name so it could easily be added to any order.

It’s funny when I say 7 feet a lot of my European friends think it’s a joke. Hell a lot of Americans do even ha. Chicago gets some snow from time to time. But just in my lifetime let’s see 9th or 10th grade day before we got thanksgiving break....we got let out of school early cause of snow. When I left (I lived about a half mile from the school so I could walk home) it was up to my waist. My father was working midnights so was in bed. I remember waking him up saying I think somethings up, he laughed and said whatever. When he got up for work that night which got cancelled of course it legitimately was 7 and a half feet. Took about 2 days to dig out. And after digging out the piles around the driveways were 12-15 feet high. Then one time in October I was maybe 20...it snowed about a foot which for Buffalo is nothing, but not that early. Nothing was winterized including nature itself. I remember watching what looked like fireworks all night. It was power lines and generators exploding. My apartment didn’t have power for a week, went back to my parents at night to stay warm. Then I don’t know maybe 2014 another storm that dropped 7 feet. But it was a tiny thin area that got dropped. If you drove a mile north they got 2 inches.

Lake effect takes on a whole new meaning where you are!

I don't know.....but since it's still infused with wax and oil I shouldn't worry too much.

Yeah. For a European that sound like an end-of-days-movie. I come from a rural, mountain area and snow was a regular thing in my youth. That said, two inches was the utmost I saw over night and that was pretty apocalyptic.

@ton312 @Tom71 ok I’ll stop side tracking this thread after this. Just wanted to show you all how crazy it gets here. There’s a ton of photos you can find. But here’s a few good ones. The top 2 are the aforementioned 2014 Storm. Bottom 2 are the aforementioned 2001 Storm.
