Couple of days since the snow, and while roads look clear I know that ice can still be around in the shaded areas.
Which is not something I want to see in my scooter headlight some dark morning.
My winter default route is often through the local State Park.
Took the pup for a walk there this morning...26°F

then went scouting the road in the Chevy F-150i....
No worries with the 7 deer we saw, but yeah buddy here would have been a panel scraping bit of road. (I counted 3 such in 5 miles)

Will look in my owner's manual "maint. log" pages and see if somebody needs their oil changed. "How long has that gear oil been in there?"

We were supposed to get 3 to 6 inches of snow but the storm went South of us and we didn't get anything. Next Wednesday is supposed to be unseasonably warm 60F (15.56C) .

Good call Stig. No need for unnecessary exposure to potentially scooter damaging sheet ice. The Like has stayed pretty this long...

That and I learned a new word, reconnoiter- make a military observation of a area. I always new it as the abbreviated version.
Expanding my horizon wasn't to long ago I learned Time is a function of gravity. From the program Genius by Stephen Hawking.

It’s a sad day when you don’t learn anything as me old Mum used to say.

Definitely will expend your horizon

our previous forecast of 2-4" & 35mph gusts, has been upgraded to 9-15" with 40mph gusts, dropping at a rate of up to 3"/hr
our first noreaster of the season
luckily, after 7 months waiting for parts, my UXV450i is coming home today, all fixed, and with a winch & plow mounted
rain is just turning to flakes as I post,

I loved living in New England back in the 60's & eafly 70's. You guys get the Real Deal snows!....and the fall foliage is amazing. Loved riding 2-up on our Honda there!
Have fun 😊

snowing at a good rate when the delivery guy arrived, first task, take the wheels off, and swap em out for my set with chains, by the time I got done, there was already 4" on the ground,
wish I had my V-strom set up for winter, I'd go for a noreaster ride, need a new front tire, the block knobby I studded before is now obsolete, so I get to research again, I have gone to the darkside for the rear, my original General Altimax Arctic was so successful, I'm gonna get a Nokian Hakkapelliitta this time around, now that I know I can squeeze a 205/50 ibn a 4" wheel

love to see some pics of your snowstorm! Sunny and low 40's here in Iowa today. Went for a 34 mile scoot ride earlier today..toes are still thawing out.

You should warm up next week, we're supposed to have record warmth with the high Wednesday in the 60's
