Default A Beautiful Day To Ride ~ NOT!!

Tuesday it was in the 70's and sunny.

Wednesday we had a major ice storm.

Last night and this morning the temperature was in the single digits, and we 'officially' had 18 inches of snow.

I measured a few spots in my yard and had over 20 inches (not counting the drifts).

Here is a picture of a little path I made to get to the carport. LoL....

Sounds good, but I'm not married so I guess there is no soup for me.

I forgot about my poor '94 LT1 Caprice and it spent the night out in the elements....

Wind blew a lot of the snow off of it, but it's still covered. Guess it doesn't matter as it looks like I'll be driving the Grand Cherokee for the next few days.

That cold front is coming through here right now. At midnight it was 69 degrees. Now at 10:30 am it's 30 degrees. Only had a few flurries though. All of the moisture with this system went north of me. If it's gonna be this cold, I wish it would snow. I love to get my Jeep out and play in the snow.

OK - do we have a wife (anybody's) out in Ozark country willing to take OFG some hot soup out to him under his carport? Maybe a blanket for his '94 LT1 Caprice as well. Come on now, we need one of you "Ladies of Harley" to step up and fill this charitable need![sm=smiley17.gif]

The bikes are all tucked away, nice and dry and hooked to their battery tenders....

The cars and trucks and Jeeps can sit in the elements and get snowed and rained on, but not the bikes.
