Skipped Summer. Back To Winter



It appears we have skipped summer and have gone back to winter. It's hard to believe I was riding the SV last week with all the snow on the ground today.

It is snowing quite hard. We don't normally get snow this late in the season or for this long for that matter. There is about 3-5 inches of slushy heavy snow out there right now. I had a fun time riding home. The Ural handled it easily.

I am ready for spring!

    I guess I should thank you for sending Spring up here. We needed a little bit of sunshine and warm weather.

    It rain here today. Lots of moisture happening in the Mississippi River. There's going to be flooding. I'm ready for you to have Spring, too.

    URALs always look cool in the snow.

    While we haven't had the abrupt change you have we did have some snow in the air yesterday after some near 70F days a week ago.

    Hope things clear for you and the riding is more relaxed.

      we're breaking records right now since we haven't had anything above 60F yet.

      Urals and snow go together like PB&J.

      It snowed again last night. The end of the week looks promising right now.
