Don't want Texas to feel left out now, ya hear.

First of all, I love snow.... in someone else's state.

It's February and spring is in the air. I can smell the Bluebonnets and Mountain Laurel already. Bright sun in the mid 60's today and low 70's tomorrow. I'll be firing up the Harley in 30 minutes to meet five friends. You know what Daddy likes!

@QC & ND
It's nothing more than a quick plane ride down south. Fly and ride, baby. Come enjoy Texas hospitality!

Everything's dead or dormant here. You're welcome to ride here.

Nice picture, but, damn. That snow will be on the ground in April.

There are two seasons in Wisconsin.... July and winter.

Rode for an hour or so last week and froze my *** off. More than that, the cold really affected my sinus/throat. Was clogged up by the time I got back and caught a cold from it (or it at least lowered my resistance big time).

At least here this snow will be gone within a couple days. Even if we got 2 feet, it would be gone within a week.

Not to much compassion for your runny nose from flowers try a runny nose from freaking cold and snow !!!
We did get a reprive and had temps in the high 20's and melted a little ice on the roads which gave our local moose a chance to get a drink from the tire tracks .He got on his knees ans slurped away .
That weather did not last long cause we got it again more snow.
I will not get to ride till april !!!!
