We know spring is officially here when the local snowball stand opens -- like it did a couple of weeks ago!

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that. We get it more up in the mountains, and for weeks thereafter, have to watch it in the curves until it's swept away by traffic. They'll do it here in Atlanta if it gets bad enough; but not very often. If it's clean, dry roads and just cold, I'm gearin' up.

The riding season is on hold in the midwest. Snow and cold weather just won't go away. At the rate we're going, Harley might have to move the 110 anniversary party to Florida.

Forecast says highs in the 45 to 55 range all week here. Snow will go fast at that rate. Next weekend a there'll be a lot of bikes on the road.

Just for those that forget that SoCal gets its share of bad weather (you just have to look for it), this is my winter drive to work and only 15 miles from San Bernardino.

lol, I should have clarified, this was a couple of years ago. Snow's gone now, but damn it's still cold in the mornings up here. Unwrapped the bike after the last snow and been riding since.

Of course not. Temperature is temperature.




Our wind chill is much worse, though.......
