    What the.....?

    Just another reminder that Mother Nature holds all the cards. Final (?) blast of winter up here in south, central Canada over the last few days - about 22cm (9 in.) of heavy, wet snow. Tends to have a distinct effect on the length of the riding season. A little envious of all you residing in southern US where riding season never ends....

    Ouch!

    At least I've been able to get out 3-4 times so far in northern Michigan.

      Your season is all year too, just need a snow machine along with the scooter. Was that a tear coming from the front signal of the XS as she peered outside?

        You could hear her whimpering all the way from PA?

          Looks like you snapped the picture just as a green tear was rolling out of her marker light.

          The burgh teased with several nice days then it turned back into spring. Pittsburgh gets a #11 ranking for city with least amount of sunshine.

              Sorry, Ma Nature is just another example of SWMBO, or at least temporarily tolerated.

                  Yeah, "Global Warming" is a term for our weather patters getting all out of wack. Look at the lack of water out West.

                    Ray, Most folks would have thought I was trying to be funny ... but in reality harsher winters are in fact being found to be caused by global warming.
