5 plus feet of snow on the ground, snow piles 10' plus at every intersection and end of every driveway, temperatures in the low teens and below zero at night, wind whipping all day long. This sucks big time. We won't be riding until May the way things are going up here in the great white north. What did I here about global warming?

-19 here in Lake Orion too. But, at least it is staying lighter longer.

Always something good to say

I am in the process of purchasing mine right now.
It's maiden voyage will be a very, very cold 2 mile trip home from the dealer.

With all of the salt and crap on the road for what you are spending I'm sure they would deliver it to your driveway if you ask. I imagine they are pretty slow with the weather, I'm sure they can find 30 minutes to do that for you. During the off season my dealer will usually offer free pickup and delivery for service.
