We got an ass load of rain all sat-sun morning when it turned to snow. What's tt equal? Ice under a bunch of drifting snow. What's tt equal? Yep, shit driving conditions. Coupled with said big power car. What's tt equal? Nearly not making it up the driveway at work sunday night. I'm talking 4th gear 80mph (indicated) to crawl up the said driveway. F'in miserable. High today..... Wait for it...... 10* with a NEGATIVE 8* wind chill.

GD I hate winter!!!!!

Um, you're crawling because you're letting the wheels spin there slick

Snow is pretty...for a day, usually all it lasts around here

No winterizing my bike, like Troy said, that random 70F day is right around the corner and I'll be out enjoying it

No, it had a sheet of ice under the snow.

I know. The more you spin though, the more you end up just sitting there.

Throw it in second, let the wheels slowly gain momentum.
