Roger that Ferret.
And Roger that Thursday through Saturday!
I think MTC grumbled sumthin' the same just recently.

I don't think it's going to be as bad as they predicted earlier. Now they are calling for windy and rain Thur, maybe 1" of snow and cold -4F Friday, and windy and cold -1F Saturday. Just going to have to see how it plays out. Won't get back above freezing for a high until next Wednesday. I hate cold lol

Provided the roads not iced, next Monday could be an opportunity in southern Ontario. Temperatures are expected to get up to -5C.

Heck, not me anyway.
There are some Africa Twin Forum members who take it up two or three levels up.
In addition, riders in Quebec, Canada seem to take full advantage of ice-riding in winter. The online videos are fascinating. Keep in mind that they do have spikes in their tires.

Yeah my brother used to ice race in Michigan, fun times.
But if you fall yikes, those spikes!

I'm not sure how the relative wind speed affects or effects (get those confused) wind chill but I have experienced that a head wind creates a lot more wind "noise" than a tailwind.
Saw this on another forum....XL Honda in the snow!

That'll do it.
Wonder what cornering is like? (carefully)

Oohhh...I like that...get your skiing and riding in at the same time. Save on the ski pass... sadly, lift ticket at my favorite ski spot has risen to $160 for a day pass. I don't go enough any more to justify a season pass, and that's too much coin for me...but this mc-ski...that looks like great fun.
Edit...but how does he shift? Maybe ski is only on the right side?
