    Winter is arriving and she is angry

    Weather Forecast for the next 10 days doesn't look great -
    Wednesday is 3-5 inches of snow expected ...



    I Know Jedz will ride in this...but probably not me.

      Carl,
      I was going to say that you are depressing.
      But, hey, Michigan is not as bad. At least not so far. (havent got the lake effect snow started yet, needs to be colder for that)

      But, did put away lawn mover and got out the snow blower. Leaf raking has been ignored (was sick last week, so I had that as an excuse).

      Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.

        I AM depressing -- depressing myself --
        I have rides to go on ; but those will have to wait until next year - God willing
        I DO love the seasons but this year has been very very wet - we already have more than our average snowfall for November on the 5th!
        Leaves unburned, grass unmowed, bikes not winterized yet ... caught me by surprise I suppose -
        But past years I was listening to Christmas music on rides to and from work -- now I am in my car

              South Coast of Oregon, I ride both my bikes year round. Rain doesn't bother me. Feeling glad I don't live where some of you guys are. I couldn't handle only riding a portion of the year!

                Now that's depressing. Here, (NY), my standard policy includes "limited use" during winter months. If they knew how much I rode each year, they'd cut my policy in half!

                  Left Kansas this morning and ended up in Albuquerque. Wall to wall sunshine and temps hovering around the 70 degree mark.
                  And the frosting on the cake was my getting to meet Roger (burque73) in person.
                  Tomorrow night will find me in Mesa, Az.

                        Forecast calls for 3 inches here today, salt trucks are out so the bike is officially in hibernation. Good news is the kids are pretty much up to speed on their skis this year, so my winter stoke level is high!

                              Winter here is just colder rain.
                              I don't like it much.
