Hi Greg and welcome to the Wet Coast!
Too bad you missed the paralyzing snow storm. Two feet of snow will pretty
much bring us to a crashing halt out here. Its not just that many people
have no experience driving in the stuff, we don't have the snow removal
equipment to get it out of the way.
I spent two days working at home because the hill into/out of Crescent Beach
was only passable by 4 x 4s with good tires. I remembered kinda late that I
have a pair of mounted studded snows that came with Dixie! I'll put them on
next time.
Seeya, Jake
