Hey Clammy, I know how ya feel. I would like to ride and it has gotten cold and snowy at times where I live also. To bad winter can't go someplace else and let us ride.
Agreed 1000%!! If I never saw another snowflake or icy patch on the road it would be too damned soon! Come on March!

Cheers!

Yeah, that ice storm in 98 was BRUTAL!
That was one nasty storm ! Where I lived we just got rain ( streets got flooded an wind damage) however go 10 miles east or west they were coated with 3 inches of ice. Trees broke, people lost power for weeks up in northern NH. If I recall Quebec and eastern Ontario Go hit worse.

Yeah we got hit dead on. We got 3 days of non-stop freezing rain, and some parts of Quebec were without power for over a month! The ice toppled hydro towers all over the place. It was nuts!

Here's hoping we never see that again!

Cheers!

We should set up a pole to see how many of us would like to see global warming or at least some sort of shift in weather patterns.

I think those that are suffering from all that heat and sunshine would appreciate a break in their riding with a little snow and freazing rain. Being the unselfish person that I am I would volunteer to ride all year round in the nasty heat and sunshine.

Here in SW PA it was 71 yesterday @12:00. By 6:00 pm it was 39. Now someone explain global warming to me. Oh and it is currently 31.
