21 hours. Even with a full tank of gas, you would need to be conserving fuel. I used to figure about a gallon of gas/hour idling.

We've had a couple inches a couple times. It keeps melting (due to climate change :confused3:) it's getting cold enough now that anything in the future will stay, especially on the north slops.

I've heard about a few guys getting their sleds out and riding. (in the mountains) I'll wait, snow is not deep enough. You go now and it costs lots of money to fix stuff you break when hitting stumps/rocks.

LS 125 MT - your elevation there in NM ?? I don't normally think of much snow that far south.

Tractor Seabee - I spent five years at the U of W. One winter it snowed about an inch. The smart folks stayed home - the crazies were out driving. When it snows in Seattle its a big bumper car event.

cat fever - we would go on 5 to 7 day snowmobile adventures when I lived in Anchorage. Trailer everything up to Talketna (~ 60 mile NW of Anchorage) Head out to the West and North for at least 250 to 300 miles. Camp out in tents - drag an ahkio with a big 'ol military fuel bladder. We could run into snow - in many areas- that would be 5 to 6 feet deep and deeper. The opportunities for outdoor adventures were - at that time - 60's & 70's - almost unlimited. The majority of all the land in AK is owned by either the State or Federal Gov and was wide open for exploring. Unfortunately - due to political concerns - most of that is now closed.

That is about what I figure. I keep a go bag of warm clothing that I grab on the way out to the car. Mostly for work if I drive it is 1.5 hrs away. Living in the land of lake effect.... I will have a full tank starting out and fill up before leaving for coming back home. That way the tank never gets below 2/3 or so. Have water and food in the car with me.
