Just come in from spending 1 1/2 hours with a 30" wide snowblower clearing the current fall of snow from the parking area and our lane. Accumulation so far has been about 8" (+/- 20cm) and still coming down. Temperature for the next 4 nights will be below -20C and daytime highs reaching all the way up to -19C. Winds blowing from 25 - 50 kph are leading to wind chills in the -35 -to -45C range. Deep freeze at the moment. . . however, it is supposed to be up to -2C on Tuesday. Spring's not likely for another 4 plus months

Nope, my REX is very securely tucked away under a blanket and a tarp in the garage. Haven't ridden since one very chilly ride in mid October. Won't likely bring the bike out of hibernation until sometime in mid April. I sometimes gets warm enough for a brief ride earlier than that, but the roads are still hazardous with black ice, and a thorough covering of sand and gravel until about mid April. Long time, no riding in my neck of the woods.

Spring's coming. . . at least that's what the calendar says, after we get finished with WINTER, which doesn't officially start for 7 more days!
