Default winter riding in WI

It's not happening too much. This is the ol'lady's car this evening. I took this beforeI cleaned it off.
I think there was about 10" on top of it. Only in WI do people venture out in a snow emergency to go eat chinese food for dinner...

Wow...You guys really got the snow today! Here in central Wisconsin the storm missed us, and the sun was out. Everything was just below us. Have fun digging out.

I loved the snow storm here in milwaukee. I went out for a good 2 hours tearin it up around town with my neighbor on his motocross bikes. Sure it's illegal, but there's no way a popo would have any chance of catching us.

Well I ventured out to the stealer today to get my new SE plug wires and before I could leave this is what I had to deal with. They say we got 12-14 inches in all. took me almost a half hour to clean it off and back it outta there...
