dashing thru the snow
#1



Weather terrorists had predicted a snow storm coming with accumulating snow by 10 AM this morning. I got on the road at 8:30. Met my brother for breakfast at Bob Evans at 10:15. After breakfast I took the long way home and started running into flurries a little after noon, when I stopped at the Honda Yamaha shop. Figured best just to head home

By the time I got home it was really coming down lol

Good for you.
You're the envy of all of us who are snow bound.

You ought to see it now about an hour or so later, flurries are gone, sky is clear, the sun was shining for a few minutes, all the snow melted off the drive. Wind is blowing like crazy, and it's cold but it looks great out. Wild weather we are having this winter.
oops 20 mins after last post and it's snowing like crazy again. It's wild I tell ya.

We're cold-bound today, not so much snowbound. High temp of about 10f (for our metric friends, that translates to approximately F-in Cold Celsius). Sunny, but windy as all get out. So, I'm surfing the Internet for bike apparel this afternoon...at least until nap time.

Looks like you got a nice ride in today, Ferret. My envy increases in equal proportion to my cabin fever.

Hey Sea, jump on your electronic gizmon and look at the Road Runner feature on Snowshoe West Virginia. One of the places I offered to lead a group to this summer.

And I don't think the author of the CB 1100 article is a forum member.. I don't think. He dresses like HikerToo though, so maybe it's him. Fair article I think.

Just did. Looks like WVA is on the radar screen for our 2016 trip. Pretty sure you will be part of it, too.
