Last year I was riding home from work in short sleeves, because the forecast was supposed to be good all day. Before I got home it was snowing. I went from 70's to 20's in 2 miles. It looked like I was riding into a grey wall. Yep, a true blue norther. A Harley on snow is quite a handful, amazingly, I made it home w/ going down. As long as I kept momentum I was OK, but stops and starts were tough. Weather forcasters never apologize when they screw up, this time they only sd. the front arrived a little more "quickly" than the computer models suggested. wtf?? go outside and look. Geez..
