 As
previously mentioned the weather leading up to this weekend was a mix of snow one day,
rain the next, followed by a cold snap in several rounds over a few weeks. What we
had to contend with was two crusty layers of ice sandwiched in between several layers of
snow. At the bottom of all this was a layer of water probably from the previous
weeks rain. The effect of this was like what I guess an ice breaker in the northern
Atlantic goes through trying to press forward. We weren't breaking any speed limits
this time. If you throttled up too much that top layer if ice was spit out from
under the wheel and piled up in from of the rear wheels slowing you even further. If
you began digging in you hit the watery mess under it all and the wheels would spin. |
