Not to rub it in on you Northern guys but...

I know that we who live in the South probably like to poke you guys from the tundra with sharp sticks a lot more than we should. In all honesty though, I really don't know how you folks from the Northern land of the ice and snow manage to deal with not being able to ride for long stretches of time.

It poured cold rain here Sunday, Monday and Tues. Now it's dry and I have electrics so the temp isn't an issue but it is so cold that wherever water is running across the road or leaching up through the pavement there are patches of ice in the morning.

I haven't been on the bike since last Saturday and it is freaking killing me! I am getting as twitchy as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Not going to lie to you it does suck.........however, excessive snow is great for pulling out the skidoo and ripping it up with them, we make do with whatever we can up here, ice-fishing,skiing,outdoor hockey,hunting, it's just a part of life up here. I do remember a guy from Venezuala that I went to college with, his opinion was the weather was always the same where he was from, he really enjoyed watching the changing of the seasons, but lets face it , today SUCKS, its -19C with a -27C windchill, stay inside beside the fire,drink hot toddies and convince the better half to get under the blanket.
