December 6, 2009 - Montgomeryville, PA
We had a snow storm last night that dumped anywhere from 0-9 inches of snow. I expected that the snow would be sticking here in PA and it was. The parking lot was still being cleared when I arrived at 10:40 a.m. I came in the car but I estimate that over 100 came on bikes, trikes, and hacks. It was a bit cold. The food inside was FREE and not bad. I liked the chili, rolls, donuts, and coffee. The tables were filled with polar bears resting and eating. There were a few challenges on the road since many cars and trucks were throwing snow off themselves onto other vehicles. I got a giant hit from a fat layer of snow that I saw fly off a passing SUV and come right at me. I held up my left hand because I thought it was going to hit my windshield. It didn't but it made a big noise when it hit my car. It might have knocked me off my trike had I been riding it. I brought two cameras today. I took a lot of videos with my extra camera. They have all been uploaded to YouTube to make them load faster and look better.
