Here in Missouri ........ sorry about that, had to wipe away the tears. It's just pure cold. Can't even get excited about Christmas this year. Have three sons all past the little kid age, no grandkids, so it will be kind of calm around the house...... and still can't ride. Did i mention it was cold?

No, that's good! We don't have to "waste our time" cleaning them as well. They stay clean (or dirty) for a good 5 months alone and forgotten in the back of our garage. That leaves us plenty of time to do other things like... let me think... I'm sure there are other things that I like doing .... Can't think of anything right now ....

Yes, winter s##ks big time!!!!!

Right now, I have to look at that picture to remember that time long ago when there was no snow on the ground and I could ride! It was only last month but I'm feeling withdrawal pains already!

Thanks

I like winter but I don't need snow the whole winter. If the snow melted and it warmed up a little I'd be happy.

I don't need the heat of the summer in Fl.

I bought a snow blower in hopes it would jinx me this year and we would get no snow so I could ride. Unfortunately we have been getting an inch of snow so the salt gets put on the road then a rain to wash the salt off followed by another inch of snow. This has been going on for the last couple of weeks. At this rate I won't be able to use the snow blower or ride and to top that off my work cut me to 3 days a week so I get a 4 day weekend. At this rate its going to be a long winter.

OOOOOH! You can kiss my frigid butt!!!

Here in northern Michigan we have about 14 in of snow on the ground and more coming. I'm having a hard time keeping the driveway cleaned out with the snowplow truck. I do still like winter, skiing,etc.

My older son and his wife, with friends, went to Kicking Horse Ski resort in British Columbia Canada last winter. They had over 40 feet of snow on the ground!
