Worked down there for about 12 years, drove 90 miles each way just so I didn't have to live there. Around here south of 69 and east of 23 is Detroit.

There are lots of OK areas between those highways and the rough parts of The D.

I don't mind the cold but when that snow and salt are on the roads is time to call it quits, We got our first snow storm on Saturday morning here in the Milwaukee area About 5inches by us plus the streets are covered in salt. Bikes parked now till atleast late march/ early April when we get the rains to clean the roads.

Yep! Put the bikes in storage and brought the snow blower out of storage. That thing can blast through almost any amount of snow. Glad I never had to do any real shoveling
