This winter

[Gliderjohn]

It has been a long and nasty winter for much of the USA this year. In SC Kansas my home airport's current temp is 21 degrees and this is April 6! Some of the posting on some of the threads are showing signs of cabin fever and lack of riding therapy, believe me I understand.
Maybe we all need to tale a collective deep breath, count to 10 and breath deep and steady before hitting the return button.
Remember why we are all here on this forum, love of Moto Guzzi and all it adds to our lives.

It has been a long cold stretch, my deck is covered in sleet tonight here in springpatch. If I wouldn’t have had the woods bike I might have gone postal over the winter!

I'd agree it's been cold this year, but not much in the way of precipitation, at least not here in MN.  Last year I rode my bike every month, including January, so I guess this year falls into they can't all be great category.  I try remember the longer I wait, the sweeter the ride will be when I do finally make it out.

Just checked the weather back home a bit ago. 16 degrees this morning with the biggest snow of the season last night. Got a whole whopping inch!

  ^^^ Hopefully that "inch" is spread out so the fields get some moisture . We received a dusting , will be gone later today . Warming up starting tomorrow , just in time for Cedar Vale .

There is still a bit of snow on the ground here.  Guess I may have to wait a few weeks before getting the bike out.

  We had the 3rd snowiest March here in Upstate NY since 1883. Today 4/7 it is 35 degrees with a wind chill of 24. Still lots of salt on the roads. Will have to wait to pick up my new Z900RS at least another week !
Will this winter ever end ??

Apr 10th, 2010 - Driven to Swanzey NH.  Rode new 1200 Sport home over 2 days.  Cool but pleasant.
Apr 14th. 2017 - Driven to Bridgeport WV.  Rode 2014 CB1100 home over one day.  Cool but pleasant.
Today - another dusting of snow overnight.  Sun out.  Probably wouldn't want to ride today.

No really good respites so far this year.  Unlike Feb of 2016.




In the Cuyahoga Valley National Park at restored Pure station.  Non-operational.

Central Oklahoma on April 7. It's 24 degrees F, snow falling, it should be T shirt weather! Wife has hidden all firearms, son came in to assure me he is apartment searching, the wife's cats are peaking around the corner at me (I swear they are plotting something) and weather alerts keep breaking in on the television. Only thing keeping from going complete nuts is working on my MotoGP picks. Have bikes in the garage that are fidgety and pawing at the asphalt!

We’ve had a long winter and late spring too, with more snow than usual, and a lot of rain in the last month. The plants are late, and my bees aren’t too happy either.
But the last couple of days have been warm. Hopefully spring is here.

The joys of retirement. I vowed I'd never attend another Massachusetts winter once I retired

So far so good.

Biggest issues here (Inverness, FL) are the alligators on the bicycle trail.

They say we taste like chicken.

[Testarossa]

Roads are mostly dry now and temps often hit 60 early afternoon, so I've been riding the bikes three or four times a week. Heading into the final week of the ski season. Aspen yesterday, Vail tomorrow, then back to Squaw Valley. Here's a recent avalanche at Squaw.

We had some (possibly legal) 'gator at Camp Carlo during bike week several years ago.."that boy was swimmin yesterday.."  I thought it tasted like gator.. and was good.

It feels like this winter will never end here in the Pocono's. 
Weatherlady was talking about more snow.

Moved into a new-to-us home this fall, so every I've been tethered to a coal stove for heat, and the computer for researching retro-fitting the house with heat and air.

Can't wait for the roads around here to get swept clean of the mountains of gravel thrown down during the snow storms.

[redrider90]

Piedmont of North Carolina and we are in a winter storm/freeze watch tonight.  I fired up the wood stove to remind me of warm weather.
March was over 6º colder on average than February this year.

 Here in western NY state the winter just keeps on coming...30F and snow flurries today,tomorrow the same, normal is 45-50 and rain which is coming this week...Two days ago we had unusual high winds of up to 65 mph for about 8 hours..One huge gust toppled one my wife's three chicken coops with hens trapped inside...We used  my hydraulic Porta-Power and then the winch on the tractor to right the coop. All hands were rescued and the only causality was broken egg...and some aluminum trim high on the house is nowhere to be seen...And a shingle or two..
