NOPE!

That's crazy. I'm so far removed from the white stuff I'm not sure I could ever live in an area that gets it again......

I have the family's skis and gear staged in the front hallway and we are heading down to Crested Butte as soon as the roads clear enough to drive.

Rode yesterday, will probably ride on Sunday, but three days of powder in between.:banana:

Hey, that is what my departed ex Air Force neighbor said before he started the same routine. I sure miss that guy.

80 here in FL today, 85 tomorrow. Not only is winter gone, spring will be gone shortly.

Old Potatoe that sure makes a pretty picture, if you don't have to go anywhere.

It's a good thing you got those wheels you built for your new favorite pal in Indiana to Fed Ex before that blizzard crippled Boulder!

Won't all of that snow be gone in about 10 minutes? Isn't that the Boulder pattern?

Over a foot of wet snow so far. We lost power for most of the morning and the roads in our neighborhood aren't passable unless you have a 4 wheel drive with good clearance.

Spring Break - Snow Day -- We don't need a beach to have fun!

Big storm forecast for our part of WI, although the timing has slowed down. Had a client cancel a major workshop for this aft, and I'm looking out at wet roads and some flurries -- sheesh.

Still predicting 8-12 inches of heavy wet stuff, and blizzard warnings 1am-1pm tomorrow with winds up to 45mph.

Would have ridden this morning if I wasn't prepping for the called-off meeting... :(

70 degrees yesterday.

If you ride in some slush when it melts, does it have salt in it. I know as a tourist co can be messy and tough on bikes in spring.

Why are there so many dead Wookies on the road?

They're known as Tumblewookies. We see a deluge of them each Spring. Sort of like Salmon spawning, I guess.

My old Land Rover lr3 was made for that....you could lift it up 3" and clear snow drifts easily up til about 30 mph.

(Disclaimer : I should also state that it's transfer case went out at 60k miles and it is not recommended for anything other than test drives and kardashians)

Expecting 10cm tomorrow, about 4 inches. May get several outings on the boards before the ski season is over for good.

Hopefully a storm that actually dumps more snow in the mountains than on the dunes of Cape Cod.... #toughyear

Wow, this cold snap is terrible. I may need to wear knee warmers this AM.
The horror...the horror.
