We got a record snow fall new years eve and new years day, I measured 4-3/4" of heavy wet snow.

Debra has been keeping the bird feeders full with lots of action. Including the squirrels.

I did get about a 20 mile ride in today, since above freezing with only a little slush here and there. Debra and I need warm weather to get here so we can take a long trip on the bikes. Only got a couple trips in last year.   :sad:

Last snow storm I went out on the WR250, just to play in the snow. This time the roads were just mostly dry and wet from melt, with a few slushy spots. I took the GS so no big deal.

I've done plenty of trail riding in the snow, but street? No.

MODOT was out spraying liquid salt, and then (later) they were spreading rock salt. 

The little motorbikes will be inside - until we get a good rain event to wash off all of that salt
