Been snowed in for 2days !! We've gotten about 20 inches of snow and i'm stuck in the house. Hopefully get out today!
Warm weather riding days are just a memory for the next 3 months.

3 months, oh how i long for only 3 months off! i'll be lucky to get my bike out of the garage before late april...
We got about 20 inches the other night, and 50mph winds to go with it. some awesome drifts though! may have to borrow a snowmobile this year and see what thats like. going to rig up a sled to be pulled by my 4 wheeler for the kids this year. they should like that

both you guys get way more than me! We go years with only light coverage but the last 2 years have been pretty ruff winters. target I'll be skiing in north Conway in January
Visiting my favorite east coast slope, Cannon..

Err it is a white powder some people sniff up their noses or the white cold stuff kids rave about for all of 10 minutes then complain it is too cold to go out in. The only thing it actually good for is :- selling more clothes & excuses not to go to work or to provide a service that is basic.

Imagine the snow round here is all goner but the Bakery & the Milk delivery service are bleating about the "weather" has caused problems. It's F***ing winter get over it !!!

Ah i forgot what the stuff looks like. Its bad when i live in colorado and we've only had maybe an inch of snow total. I think we're turning into a desert.

Hey, it was 22 degrees here in Florida last night. Not too cold to ride with proper gear but too cold to enjoy it

Last time i was in Ohio at this time of year i had just flown in from the Middle East via Trinidad west Indies and then Coumbusl, Dayton & Troy. There had been snow and it was about -5 and i got told off by my hosts for wearing a Safari Jacket and not a suit.
They were bit flabbergasted to learn I did not have suit :-} So i asked to borrow a company car to go buy one oh no we cannot alllow foreign guest to drive its against the law. I pulled out my US driving permit issued in Georgia & my military permit for accessing any vehicle that I required.
They decided to side step and gave me the Manager as driver . Jack a** took me to Walmart , at that point I was firm but polite that my clothes were tailor made and that he had better find me a tailor pronto. well Troy did not have one and according to the yellow pages neither did Dayton. so I settled for 5 summer suits complete with 10 shirts and 6 ties from the local mens outfitters for the country club types.

The owner was bit gob smacked when i told him I expected a suit finished in 4 hours and the rest by AM the following day so i told him about a spec of rock called Hong Kong where a suit was made from scratch, first fitting in 2 hours and 2 hours later you were wearing it in a meeting, Ok so how are you paying err cash what else but sir that is 3 thousand 2 hundred dollars , no problem & counted it of the roll.

The driver after that was VERY polite after that might have been because i gave him a 60 dollar tie for" his troubles" LoL He had been fingering and gazing at it the whole time he was in the shop and it was obvious that it was above his pay grade. So I got pay back for his snotty sneering parochial attitude, makes me smile every time I think about that visit.

That and a certain local college girl ................................................. BUT that is another story .
