  • Snow here

    Snowing here, the first time any really acumulation of snow this season. I hate snow and when I think about the times I had to shovel the stuff, I want to go to my garage and fondle my snowblower!!!!

    Yep, pretty good pile of the stuff so far. The office cleared out at noon, except for a few stragglers like me. I thought ahead and didn't ride today - first time in a LONG time.

      Good for you bug, there are limits, and riding when your life maybe in danger is not good for you and not good for your family. Speaking of family, since the snow started, my wife has done nothing except stand there quietly, staring thru the kitchen window, if it gets any worse, I will have to let her in.

        Hi Jack,
        be sure and wipe her paws when you do or she'll track up the rug.
        and I'll take any bet you can name that the lady never checks this list

            im usually a big fan of snow, but today is the day my buddy sent me his ducati for the summer or longer and we are suppose up to get 3 inches of snow tonight. i guess it will give me time to clean her up for my maiden voyage around the block.

              Nothing but Ice here. I'd rather it be snow. I can get traction in snow, Ice....forge-abou-it.

                Snow here this evening....I just hope it does not turn into the freezing rain they are predicting. Freezing rain has no redeeming features in my book.
                Not good for Man or Beast as my dear old Dad would say. As it breaks trees not good for the vegetation either.

                Yup I've started drinking

                      The snow will be melted by the end of the day, and the desert around there will smell and look beautiful for the next few weeks.
                      You should get some of that west of you, I'd guess. Rabbit Valley?
