Blizzard on the way

Wow, it sounds like this is really going to happen! We are under a winter storm warning! I held off posting this - because I hate to get anyone's hopes up. They're talking 6-10 where i'm at (for the weekend) in Black River Falls and more like 10-14+ inches further north around River Falls and Menomonie. Talk about exciting! I do have the sled with me... so hopefully there will be some awesome pics to put up within the next two days.

Stay tuned!

ns said...: I bet we have almost 8-9 inches already and they're saying it's supposed to "get bad" after midnight. Great. Blowing like mad here....

Sledding Slang 101

Top-end: The 3/4 to full throttle section of powerband. This is dictated by main jets in carb.
Fat: Too big of jets in the carbs resulting in too much gas entering a certain carb stage. Results in gurgle and loss of peak power.
ATF: Automatic transmission fluid. The desired lubricant for the chaincase.
Flatlander: Someone who lives amidst rather flat terrain. AKA, the Midwest. Most flatlanders dream of mountain powder.
Snow flap: The ugly plastic or rubber thing hanging off the back of the sled. Aids in cooling and keeping the roost off your buddys face.
Powski: Powder. Fluffy snow. The white gold every die-hard snowmobiler dreams of.
Hyfax: Plastic slides on the bottom of the sled that the track rides on.
Crank: Crankshaft. Most internal (and expensive) piece of the engine that converts vertical motion from pistons into circular motion to spin clutch.
TIG Weld: Tungsten Inert Gas welding. The only proper way to weld aluminum.
