Sorry to hear about your friend, DG; glad you made the trip safely. As to gassing up my plow truck, too many times....more plowing today. Oh well...at least I have heat and stereo in the old bucket of (rusty) bolts!

We are getting the end of that storm on Sunday but they are saying rain/snow here. Yesterday we were in Calais,  ME, for the funeral of a good friend from our GMC motorhome club, and it was freezing rain/snow all the way home. Couldn't keep the windshield clear of ice most of the day. Usual six hour drive took just over ten hours!

Well, now we have an unusually WARM spell, here in Ohio.  As much snow as we had, it's all but GONE now.  Supposed to be in the 50's F all weekend.  We've had rain most of the night, heavy at times.  Weather guessers are guessing 1-4" of rain for the weekend. I can see right now we'll get more than the minimum guess.   Looks like a warm, wet, soggy weekend. :(

So why are you not ice fishing?

because as cold as it has been the ice has not gotten thick enough yet, a feather weight like yourself perhaps could walk out on the ice, me I prefer it to be thicker.

I have picked up my yearly dose of flue, I'm hoping it has cleared by Christmas..

One of the problems with owning four old bikes is that I have to spend four times as long on maintenance in a cold garage.

Ride safe, when you can so that you can enjoy the warm weather when it arrives..

JOhn.

That Buick I bought sure has a good heater....and I need it! Just as usual, it "warmed up" today, so it could snow...again!

22* here with 8" of snow fall today and doesn't look to be stopping any time soon . So far today finished painting front fender and waxing the front forks . Off to plow for the third time then work on getting the front rim cleaned up . Even though it's a nasty day outside seems to be very productive .

Hey 49 how many times have you gassed up the plow truck  ;)

We got ice. No snow, just ice. It warmed up to 40 the last few days so no more ice. Would have gone for a quick ride since I finally got the bike together but they went batshit crazy with the sand. It's everywhere, and a lot of it. Even my Jeep has gotten sideways on curves. Bad thing is it'll probably stay there forever. They never actually clean that up.

  49 hire GB son to plow your driveway....

need to check in with my counsellor because I am entitled to having VA hire a driveway cleaner, but I don't mind doing it if it is not too bad and some times it is a way to relax and unwind......but I have a normal 3 car wide driveway.....

(Sigh) an hour and a half with the truck plowing so far, about an hour more to go, then going to do the neighbor's driveway; they have been gone for a week and won't be able to get in the yard.

Then......I get to go play in the shop...... :D

Minus 19C  (-2F) and lots of snow to plow.... :(

Now, on the other hand, my oldest son has a landscaping business, so all the snow and ice is like a great big paycheck to him.

I've heard it said "It's an ill wind that blows no one good".
