Thinking about and looking back I guess I can't complain too much about this winter. We had great riding weather here right up till Christmas day. Usually we are seeing sporadic snow and real cold temps by October. This year was different though, we got pounded with snow starting in January and we had snow on the ground straight through to about 2 weeks ago. I usually sneak in quite a few cold weather rides in between storms but this year was the first in awhile I had no riding for a solid two months.

We had 7 inches of snow here yesterday, and really really needed it.
In fact we could use 7 inches a week for next 2 months and then maybe be starting to get where we need to be for moisture content.
It looks like our drought that we are in perpetuates at this point anyway.
