Default Winter is here!!

Last week the forecast was for some snow showers over the early part of the weekend, then clearing and some temps in the 50s by mid week. Well this morning I awoke to snow showers - which went on all day!! We've had about 3-4 inches of snow and it's still snowing now (9PM). I checked the updated forecast and it's now snow and rain all week. Maybe the winter weather has finally set in for a while. I'll wait for the warm and clear days and take advantage of the opportunities when they present themselves. For me there isn't an off season.

Just spent all day clearing snow off city sidewalks and bike trails with more snow in the forcast. Yee-haw, pennies from heaven. We've just begun our off-season, usually don't get the bike out again till Easter.

Here in Missouri it is going to be in the upper 70s and by Wednesday evening, they are predicting snow flurries. Wife and I heading out this afternoon for a ride and will try tommorrow, too. As others I will be doing some honey dos around the house this weekend, and watching some football.
