Title: Crap! Snow!
Post by: GLV55 on December 07, 2013, 06:20:58 PM
Well, that's the end of the scooter riding for a while. We just got a foot of snow overnight and it's still snowing. Luckily, our scooters are tucked into a nice, warm garage with full tanks and StaBil, hooked up to battery tenders. I have to go out about twice a day and just sit on it and dream about warmer weather and long rides again....  sigh.....

Yea we get chinook winds occasionally where the temperature can go up 30 degrees overnight but this is one bitch of a cold front from the arctic  that we have had for a week now. I understand from the weather reports that it reaches almost south to the Mexican border and affecting the western USA as well. Furnace is working overtime and my wood supply for the fireplace is dwindling.
