Welcome to the club. Did You just get the bike or have you had it a while? I'm like you, can't wait for the winter to be over. Thats why mine is covered and hooked up to life support. (Battery Tender!)

You easterners have it rough I guess. I would go for a ride, but hell, it is only about 8 C today here.
Welcome to the site from a fellow Guelphite! Just over near Riverside park. Nice to have someone local.
Always room for another Canadian rider! Welcome to the way we pass the endless winter months, dreaming of the spring. Of course this gives us more time for projects than our southern counterparts...otstir:
Well Yeah, but sometimes we do have other chores to do. You know, patching the roof of the igloos, feedin the sled dogs, shovelling snow. out: Ok, Ok just kidding. No igloos and sled dogs, but shovelling snow, OH YEAH
Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy a great season of riding down there in Eastern Land. I'm sure I speak for all Canadian's when I say "Snow, Snow, Go Away, I wanna ride my bike." As a matter of fact that probably goes for a few of the northern states as well.
It was just above freezing this afternoon and the roads were dry, I almost shoveled the snow away from the garage to for a quick ride but my daughter wanted to go skating. She won.

Up to 3 above earlier today here and then about 3:30pm it started snowing. Sitting there in my office at the shop and see fluffy white flakes falling from the sky and a street sweeper slowly trudging by on the street. Really wishing I was in Scuba Land today. Hmmmm, move to California and worry about earthquakes or stay here and shovel snow. Might consider looking up real estate in California.
If it's any consolation, it's supposed to rain here in LA/OC tomorrow. Definitely don't want to ride/drive when it rains here, people completely lose their ability to drive! Not that they have much to begin with anyway. Oh, it's even that way when it's just a drizzle! As far as earthquakes go, every 15 - 20 years seems to be the timing, but wait until after there's one to move here, that's when all the transplants reconsider living here and move back home. Me, I was born and bred here so I am not going anywhere!
My grandma (now 99 years old) loves to regail our family of the time she and my grandfather stayed with some friends in Los Angeles a LONG time ago and how they woke up one morning to find their friends cowering in the doorway to the kitchen (my grandparents were on the fold away couch in the living room at the time). My grandma asked what the heck they were doing and their friends said "You mean you didn't feel the earthquake?" My grandma responded with "Nope, slept like a log, what would you like for breakfast" as she walked past them in to the kitchen. I know what you mean by the way people seem to lose their mind when the first few rain drops hit the windshield. It is like someone had just gone and greased up the tires on every car on the road. Last I checked here, wipers were a common feature on modern cars but it would appear that some individuals have trouble seeing through them when they are turned on. The town I live in is populated mainly by seniors and they drive slow enough as it is and when it rains, OMG the traffic becomes unbearable at times. When it snows, you may as well shut the town down and send everyone home. Our first snowfall this year (Kelowna population is around 100,000) we had 36 accidents in three hours, and the roads were not even frozen. Hope your weather is better by the weekend and I hope ours warms up as well. Supposed to be above freezing by the weekend and the snow usually doesn't last much longer than mid March here so with any luck I'll be back on the bike in a month or so.
