Default Dreaming... and Jealous!

Just checking in on the forum and dreaming about riding. I have 5 feet of snow in the yard, resulting from record snow falls that are happening every 3 days or so. The snowbanks around the garage are up to the roof, because there is no where else to plow it. I haven't been able to get into the garage to check the bikes for weeks... Too much powder in the yard to even ride the SkiDoo's! Hopefully an early Spring will come... Hard to believe I am typically riding early April! Oh yeah, -27 degrees last night!

Default I know the feeling

I know the feeling , -22 last night here in Ohio 8-10 inches ( better than feet like you ) but still no end in site of the cold for a couple more weeks . I almost cry reading about some of the members of this forum out for rides and writing about how nice it was to get out. Florida is looking better every day!!!!

I feel your pain man. We got snow and ice all over the place here in north jersey. Every morning it is below zero and the fresking wind is relentless.

It almost seems like the warm weather will never return. It was 39 degrees here on Sunday. It's been so cold that Sunday seemed like a warm day. Amazing

Just think positive, daylight savings is in 2 weeks. The days light is getting longer into the evenings, March is a week away. All signs Spring is on the way.

Florida sounds great now but I would not want to be in that soup bowl in the summer. I hate the extreme heat and humidity as much as the extreme cold.

I hear you on that! Days are indeed getting longer and that's making it easier to deal with.

I bitch about the cold but I'd rather be cold than deal with that stupid heat any day of the week.

Damn we had rain on Monday and high winds on Tuesday so I could not ride, well I could have on Tuesday but had other things to do.
Man it sure sucks here in Kalifornia...LOL....


The left coast does have the good weather, now all we need to do it get rid of the Socialistic government we have here in Kalifornia.
