Curled up in a ball waiting for spring.....Once they salt the streets, I'm done for the season. I go to the indoor range occasionally.... oh, and spend time on the forums and utube (for bike stuff).

Yep, same here. Week or so ago we were in the single digits with sub zero wind chills and snow in the air.
Last few days have been in the 60's, this weekend in the 70's, and got an all day run planned.
Yesterday rode Pearl and the Shovelhead for the first time in a couple of weeks....made me smile.....

I guess you could call what I do "hibernating" these days. I work from home, so at least I don't have to drive in the garbage weather every day. My blood pressure appreciates that. I really, REALLY, hate winter, cold and snow/ice, so unless I need to go shopping, or whatever, I stay in the house. I definitely get into a funk as it wears on. The past couple of years have been especially brutal, though, since I usually break the winter blahs for a couple of weeks in L.A. riding a rented Harley. Thankfully, I'll be resuming that tradition next month. Can't come soon enough. We've been pounded by storm after storm the past couple of weeks.
Cheers!

We've lost 75% of our snow from last week. I ended up over at my SIL's house this morning and he was just leaving in his SxS. We were gone an hour riding the hills and getting around pretty good through the snow. We pack our bikes away and find other things to do.
