Nick

At least your priorities are correct - bikes inside, cars and trucks outside in the snow......

I like having everything inside.... No snow to brush or ice to scrape. Not that we've gotten much of either this year.

Ice pellets forecast for next week. Those buggers are hard to load.

No Nick it's not. ;D :BEER:

Sorry Nick, 16 degrees and sunny yesterday. Yes, you do have to put up with a bunch of lefty vegitarians and such but riding all year makes it worth it! :BEER:

Lefty vegetarians? I can cope with that - in fact, I'd fit right in (apart from the vege part). I must think about the left coast for next winter. There must be bike rental places on Vancouver Island? It can't be any colder or wetter than the UK.

I had a dog that would stand in the window looking at the snow with that same look on his face. I think your bikes want to go outside and play.

That's why the bullets are so expensive.

No it's snowing here in CT. 6 to 10 predicted, blizzard warnings along the south eastern coast and of course Boston because they need more then the 6' of snow that they already have.

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #9 on:** February 14, 2015, 03:09:48 PM »

Apparently not. The forecast was for "blustery" and it's blustering right along. ;D Snow off and on, and NW winds at 33 gusting to 48.

I remember winters in Ontario. :'(

Move out west and endure the terrible winter out here instead. Nah, too much rain!

Me yesterday ready to go out to do chores and take the daily walk in the morning. It's all layers of cloth, I'm a thin guy. Feb is the coldest month here, near zero F or for two weeks. I enjoy weather extremes, cold and hot...good for the constitution...

canuck750 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:19:49 PM »

I think we got the same snow last night, started with freezing rain then 6" of snow. I think my sentence is over in about three years then its off to the left coast onto the island, you don't have to shovel rain.

Lefty vegetarian was just kind of a general catch phrase. You also have to drive your Suburban to the oil protests. :BEER:

Would my AWD full size Savanna van do? It gets about the same gas mileage (same engine too).

Perfect! Just don't forget your picket sign declaring oil is killing the planet. :BEER:

At least your temps are Celsius. The temps are supposed to go up this time of year, not down! Maybe, towards the end of the week...

Sure looks/feels like spring to me here. 76F today and tomorrow, sunny and the trees have buds. Not a cloud in the sky. ;D Saw quite a few MCs on the road today between here and Las Vegas. ;-T

No, and we don't even have any groundhogs to tell us when it is.
All we have is those extremely vicious Hawaiian long tailed hamsters.
They are sort of like weasels with straight razors.

It is definitely springlike in WA. Today, for the first time since October, Dawn cracked before I did!

Feels like it here. 75f today, taking the wifey out for a long ride with some friends. Should be t shirt temps on the loop home.

Nic in Western NYS · « **Reply #25 on:** February 15, 2015, 12:49:31 PM »

Used my trusty Honda 624 to blow the latest 12", using its handy dandy swivel chute to direct the blowing snow (usually) away from my face. Yay! Also got confirmation that it works better when both augers are functioning (my wife informed me towards the end of the last storm that only one auger was rotating - duh). Drifts about 7' - going to get windy and cold tonight (-9F predicted) so done for the day.

I've been using my m/c helmet with the anti-fog visor for those cold windy days-keeps the snow off of my face and eyeballs…the neighbors surely think I'm weird.

A few pics from our morning walk on Casco Bay.(atlantic ocean) Kind of spring like 10 degrees below zero.
