I'm not in Canada, but just across Lake Erie from it in Cleveland, OH. The Alberta Clippers and Arctic Blasts give us a good lashing from December until sometimes as late as May. We got a break last month and I was able to go for a couple of rides.When I got home had to give the bike a good washing to get any salt off. We are sick of winter here too.

I feel your pain! I live in Lotus Land, Langley BC. Most years we get no snow, just 3 months of straight rain. Not this year, snowed three times last week, and agin last night. snow is a four letter word.

Not in Canada, only 90 miles south of the border in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. We were in a state of emergency due to all the snow this past week - I've had enough of it, I want to ride!

Didn't mean to exclude any of our southern neighbours.I know that all of the bordering states with Canada get the same crap that we get. I have friends in New York State, and believe it or not they get more snow than we do here ( Kingston , Ont ). Man I will be glad when this is over!

We got that **** here in ottawa too... I've never seen so much snow in a winter in my 38 years! It's downright depressing! At least Wyerton Willie predicted an early spring, so we have SOMETHING to hope for, hehehe...

Cheers!

Yeah - winter last year was way better - I was off my bike for only 2 months. I don't remember a winter being like this one since I was a kid. Makes me want to look for work in Arizona.

Southern Ontario. Sick of this white bs. On a good note going to El Salvador for a week and get a tan. This should keep me sane until March.
