Once you get to the barn you can get the old buggy out and go for a ride in the snow.

I didn't measure, but I know this. I have a 32-34 inch inseam, and when I was walking out to the garage on Saturday morning, it would have been nice if my legs were an inch or 2 longer.

North Shore of Long Island, Northport, had over two feet of snow and the Coast Guard Station a mile from my home reported winds over 70 MPH which did wonders as I attempted to use the snow blower, but no matter what I did with th3e shoot, it blew onto me so I came in looking like Doctor Zhvago after he walked across Siberia, kind of like a snowman.
Our Model A Club had an event Sunday with twenty people in their modern SUV's, and one brave Sport Coupe showing up for Valentines Party Luncheon. Local streets are still a challenge and even the LIE was CLOSED all night SUNDAY NIGHT while they tried to remove cars with fork lifts and plowed it with equipment borrowed from NYS Thruway and others.
Mutual assistance abounded including people snow blowing local streets.
These cars were all caught around five PPM Friday and drivers spent the night either i their cars or a local WalMart that stayed open and let them use lawn chairs and buy food all night.
