Default Rode yesterday, 10 inches of snow today

Yesterday was nice enough that I got out for the second time this year. Now today, 10 inches of snow, 30 MPH winds, and a fresh coat of liquid salt on the roads. Gotta love the Midwest!

A lack of spring weather here in Ohio is causing depression. Two weeks ago it was 60 the high today was 30 something.

Maine ain't getting any warmer anytime soon either. Very depressing to see it being cloudy and cold this time of year. We still have 5 to 8 foot snow banks. It's getting old, kinda like me.

We’ve had more snow and colder weather in March than we had all winter.

Neen dry all the past week, but it doesn’t get much above freezing and the roads are salt covered.

Same as farmer65 said, we've already got 6" of snow and no sign it's going to stop anytime soon.

Yesterday it was around 50* and sunny...

I usually start thinking about getting the bike down and putting insurance on the "toy" cars in mid April. Even then, I have to wait on "dry" weather as we live on a private, dirt/gravel road about 2/3rd of a mile off on the paved county road so it can be messy at times.

Cheer's to those who can ride sooner!

Yeah it has been a heck of a winter. Rode with a fellow forum member last Saturday. Looked crappy in the AM then turned out really nice.

Then Wednesday it snows ALL DAY. The temps were right at or above freezing so no accumulation. Then Thursday it is 50 degrees and windy. I rode the bike in and had the shocks installed, then got home around 5pm and the wife and I rode to dinner.

Now Saturday it is raining with a chance of snow tonight! March can be a CRAZY month here in the Carolina's.

Managed to get out for about 20 miles today. Pretty cold but nice and sunny out there. I don't know if it's been crappier than other years or I just don't have the patience I used to.......
