    Me too

    I live 10 miles east of Hell, MI (in Hamburg)and it was -14 degrees with 13"of fresh snow Monday morning.

    It's not normal to be so cold in Hell.

    I do like the seasons too, but the winter would be more fun if I didn't have to go to work.

    Projects are a fun part of winter...no grass to cut, no work to do in the vegetable garden.

    I hope to hear/ride my SF for the first time around April timeframe.

        I think that should read "Now my mother in law will be nice to me"

          snow?

          No snow in Ga today. 60 degrees f (above).
          Tomarrow one inch predicted 20 miles north. Three to 5 inches predicted forty miles south. If it is dry here, I might ride over to Easy Street. I do want to pump some fine Canadien air into my tires...clear clean dense dry....
          Should be nice in FL this weekend.

          Groundhog day soon.
          It is a great big beautiful world out there

              Georgia Snow

              Watch TV tonight and you will likely see how all of the Atlanta area is pretty much locked down from 2 inches of snow? It is taking people hours to go a few blocks. Nothing like being prepared.

                Not that it is a huge amount to our brethren up Nort'. But we have 33" of the white powder so far this year. Our norm is 23" for the year.

                  Yeah, we're seeing record snow falls this year. If I had time for snowboarding or snowmobiling, I'd enjoy the weather. But, just work, work, work, so I dislike it. But, it gives me time to get all these upgrades done

                      Snow Mobiling

                      Snowmobiling is something I have always wanted to do. Just haven't had the opportunity yet. Not a whole lot of that going on around here.

                          Hi Don,
                          My part of the Great White North has seen more snow than the last few years but alos on top of that temperatures have been much lower too.
                          I do not recall the last time the temp went above freezing since early December. Roll on spring

                                Just went through Atlanta on the way to Baton Rouge and back again...First time was at 2a.m. and all the buildings were lit up...nice...no traffic...return trip on a sunday at 10 a.m. more traffic but it all flowed and we were outta there...love that one building where the top part is all lit up and you see the intricate pattern on light and steel girders...very pretty...but i do recall my very first time riding to GA School f/t deaf and we came thru Atlanta at 5pm on a Fri...that was suicide traffic...nearly 1hour 30 mins to get through the snarl of traffic jammed in every direction...with 2''of snow on the ground I'd stay off any roads around there as long as I could
