For the obligatory weather thread, but with a twist on my part. Thanks to Bubba my submission is now from my back yard.

So is it better knowing these details or does that make it worse?
Warmer here by far, but we are being warned of impending snow doom to come!! The fuel can for the blower is full.

2nd cold snap of the winter is normal by early Jan. So far the rest of winter has been fairly mild.
Could use a REAL cold snap to kill off some of the more harmful southern parasites (pine beetle, potato nematode, Torontonians.)

Digging out from quite the dump. We don't see plows on our little backroads so should be interesting as I head out shortly. Just measured 36 cm on the road and still coming down. The VW Golf may not be ideal ...

I spent three hours last night digging out my driveway and making a spot to turn my truck around. I said I wasn't going to use my old snowblower this year, and I couldn't, after I ripped off the pull rope.
We have about 16 inches here. I am still sore this morning! I had to move some snow at work yesterday before that, so there was plenty o' shovellin'...

Well, the two week forecast for the valleys around here, shows highs and lows above freezing. Oh, and I can drive to work and home without my headlights now too. I dressed up Mitzy, our cat in a woodchuck costume on Monday and she only saw half her shadow. So that means there is only 3 weeks of winter left.
A little more rain, to wash away the crap, and I will be out on my bicycle, readying my flabby butt for an epic year of riding. 💪👉🚲

I rode my latest dirtbike through the yard today
...I figure two weeks and maybe I will license something..almost jumped the gun on the 31st, but I am forcing myself to wait. I drove to Penticton on the 29th, and I could have ridden...but then it snowed on Saturday...lol. Patience!
I have consoled myself by buying another FZ750, ordered brake rotors for the Stelvio, and I am checking out a Buell on Saturday. I wanna ride!

Soon you will become immobilized by the decision of which bike to ride.
But I suppose that is rather a delightful dilemma from your point of view !?

LOL. Yes, you are correct. I'm not quite sure which to start with...and it is a good problem to have. I do want to wear the tires off of the Stelvio by June.

The decision was made for me...I was going to do the 12 month plan through ICBC when I licensed the Buell, and transfer the plate onto the Stelvio in a couple weeks, but I forgot my banking info...so I am on the Buell for a while. (But I may yet license the Stelvio later this month...lol)
It is a difficult deciding what to license! The LeMans will be my summer bike for sure. I am not exposing it or the XLCR to the gravel on the roads for the next month or two.

Heard you before I saw you today. Likely because of the dust on Columbia Ave

LOL...it is loud! I was doing my best to keep it quiet, but the only way to get second gear is under acceleration. I am going to have to play with that shifter linkage. Ah yes...it is going to be very very hard to behave.

Temp climbed yesterday. Almost too hot for winter gear.
Sorry for greasy cell phone pic.
