    Snow!

    Thought you guys might get a kick out of this photo. This is one of our Magnum Opus stage roads in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, right now! Slightly different conditions from last year. On this 2nd day of Spring, there is over 5 feet of snow with drifts of 8-12 feet It's been a brutal winter with more snow predicted before it's over. 4 weeks until the rally ... we're postponing to June.

    Yikes! I hope they're having better luck keeping the road to the brewery open.

    Hi Curt,

    My new-to-me 964 C4 with new Nokian snow tires probably can't handle the 8-12 foot drifts in the U.P., even if it does have its stock ride height...but maybe there's some snowy roads a little further south where someone can have a little (responsible) fun?

    EXACTLY why I bought it. I don't even plan to get a set of summer tires for it.

    I guess our rally isn't the only one ... Easter Stages Rally in Ireland cancelled today due to snow!
