Unhappy winter blues

I just came up from the garage after putting some wax on the bike & covering
it up. I normally get to ride year round,but this winter if it's not raining it's snowing
or the temp is in the teens. I can't take much more & neither can the ol' lady.
I don't think winter will ever go away. Come on July & a FL vacation!

Yep. This winter seems much worse than normal. Last summer, we had a lot more rain than normal too.

Up here this winter is much better than last year. No snow so far. Today actually got into the 50's with only a light rain. Got a decent little scoot in.

I'm goin' crazy!!!!! Depression is setting in!
I normally get out at least once a month during the winter which gives me a little tease and keeps me optomistic that sping is around the corner but this winter has been an abomination. We have already had 71.2 inches of snow here in NJ with more predicted this week!

I am really beginning to hate snow. Let's all hope that all this snow means we get great riding weather the rest of the year.

Yep here in WA we had over 90" of total snow fall. From early Dec to Feb there was snow and no riding. I have been able to get out about once a week the last month. I'll take it
