Stop signs.  Do they mean the same thing up there as they do down here?  ;)

You can't put some chains on the tires of your bike and go riding :cookoo:

Sorry brother but I don't have that problem down here in South Florida :woohoo:

I know stop rubbing it in, but I just had to :thumb:

It is quite pretty...and right now it isn't that cold...when I took the video it was -3C (26.6F)...but when winter hits it is usually between -15 & -20C (5 & -4F), and that is normal temps...but the roads clear up and it is easier to drive in...but we do get cold snaps for a week or two at a time of -35C (-31F)...that gets old fast!!  Not as cold as in the territories...I took a pic of my thermometer outside my door at 6pm...-56C (-68.8F)...now THAT WAS COLD!!

Only three months to go before I am venturing out to ride again...better get the bike fixed...

Looks like the winter came here in Finland, too. It snowed on weekend and right now temperatures are just below freezing. Hopefully it stays like this, its so damn dark without the snow.

Sounds quite similar...without the snow, everything looks dusty & dirty...and short days are no help...

Just makes us appreciate spring that much more!!

People can say what they want about Florida & hurricanes, but we don't get them that often and when we do they only last a couple of hours to days (leading up & after). Every place else gets snow, every year form days to months. I think I'll stick living in Florida with the sunny beaches and girls in their bathing suites :flipoff:

it's been quite some time since Florida had a hurricane. And hell yeah to bathing suits and short shorts all year long.

Yeah, we get all that nice warm "girls in skimpy gear" weather without the hurricanes. I love summer for this reason alone...  ;) ;)
