Default Snow :(

Well, we got our first snowfall this year. Time to trade the summer steed (my GS) for my winter mule (Snow King) it's been snowing all day, check out the pics of my back yard.


Booo...

It's 12 here right now. I took Jolene for a ride last week, and now it's icy with wind chills below zero. Uggh.

Cool

Looks like the temps gonna warm up some and the snow and ice has melted off the streets, I'm gonna get back out if I can....
who knows, the dam@ weather changes around here faster than the wind changes direction, but it's worth a shot

Yikes, you have more snow than we do in good ol' MN!!! We only have a light dusting in the Twin Cities right now, enough to cover the ground a bit, but you can still see some grass underneath.

Well, update...the snow is gone. The lake does some crazy things to the weather here. It was 50 here today. SG1, I've been to the twin cities in the winter...I'll take the snow any day to the frigidness you have all winter.
