    Just a light coating at my place. I passed a dump truck on 694 that said Woodbury on the side that had almost a foot high snow on the roof. Did you get that much Mr. Powershouse?

    I drove in today but could have easily ridden, there were only a few slightly hairy spots. I'm getting the itch for a new bike pretty bad. If I get this promotion I'm going for, it will be shopping time. Thinking used K1200/1300GT. That Tiger Prop has is pretty intriguing. The new Multistrada is damn sexy. That MotoGuzzi Stone gives me wood. There's a chance I just like motorcycles :lol3

    I don't think we'll ever get to ride motorbikes in the warm sunshine ever again, ever.

    Shovels and snoblower still at the ready a Casa Powershouse. I've even put off assembling the last few bits of the ST back together, so as not to tempt fate.

    What do I have to show for my efforts? Four-to-six of albino moisture stacked on the ground.

    Gravy, have you considered sled shopping? If you were to dip into the 401K for a fancy ass snow machine we'd be assured of Missouri winters for at least a few years. :deal

    Why is that? They should be OK. I don't think they are Hwa Fong el cheapo ditchfinders.

    Slush no, but normal, lovely non snowy rain should be alright.

    Oh, well yes. Practice is everything. It is quite amazing how good tyres are these days, but go easy in the wet anyway.

    Yesterday, I said to a fellow GS rider, I just find it very difficult to believe that it will snow and snow as much as they say it will here in the Twin Cities.

    Rain. I. Like to ride in the rain.

    :evil

    It is my wife's fault. She loves winter and left KC for the Cities this morning.
