… an early spring, every other rat across North America says a late spring. Dumbass rats don’t know squat, we’re Canada, of course we’re going to have at least 8 more weeks of winter.
I always look at Groundhog Day as the half way point of winter, we’re almost there 🥵

LOL bunch of lunatics at those things IMO. All I'm doing is looking at next week on my weather app for Cambridge and a good rain on Tuesday to wash away the salt. Then I'm riding on Wednesday February the 8th (4 degrees!) hoping my heated gear is in by then, if not I just stay in the city. I put on new V&H slip ons last week and haven't even started it to hear them as I won't unless I can get her up to operating temperatures to burn off the moisture in them and the cylinders. I told wifey when we retire I'm buying a nice covered trailer and pulling the Hog to Florida in November and we stay there until March and come back, can't wait to do that...one good thing of getting older HAHAHA

I just checked the long range forecast. I don’t see an early spring but I also don’t see a harsh winter either. Mid 30’s / 40’s. Some riding potential in there. Our biggest challenge is keeping the yahoos from using up there salt budget. Lol.

Every weather rat across Canada is calling for an early spring. Let’s face it, we’ve had it pretty easy this year, haven’t used my snowblower once. Ignoring the weather rats, we’re going to pay for this. I predict (being a bit of a rat myself) a huge four foot tall snow storm sometime in March. Over time, things tend to average out.

Been in Mexico since December 30 so no skin in the game. Wouldn’t have taken the bike out anyway.
