It snowed again here and this time it was the wet, heavy snow of warmer temperatures (usually called 'heart attack' snow 'cause this is the stuff that..... well, you know). It stuck to everything and I have to say, this is the most beautiful snow of the season for me. There are a lot of 'canopied' roads around there, where the branches and twigs of the trees on both sides meet in the middle; when this kind of snow occurs, everything in all directions is pure white, including looking 'up'. Of course this is a motorcycle forum, and lots of people do not care for the winter season anyway, never mind the loss of riding time but I have to say, I would really miss this season if I did not have it at least every two or three years. Besides there being something fundamentally wrong with an air conditioner making the branches of a Christmas Tree move around , winter is actually enjoyable, at least for some of us. Besides all that, my snowblower is a Honda so it is not all that big a stretch from a Kawasaki anyway. :-)
It is going down to 3F tonight and 9F tomorrow night so this stuff is going to freeze into a big, white rock. Best shovel or blow it out of the way now folks 'cause in two days you might need a pickaxe to break it up beforehand.

ya know, as much as I biotch about it, I grew up here, and all said, Kinda love it all... I could never live in Florida or Kalifonica...
there is something to be said about the tenacity of us folks living here.... we got balls, shrunken, but we got balls. and sometimes the beauty outweighs the pain...
midnight time exposure shot from our first snow in November...looks pretty much the same now, but that picnic table is a white lump in the yard currently....
all my usable firewood is now sitting at the back of that property line, 100 yards from the house, in 2 foot deep snow.... bummer, thank god we have a gas furnace....
