Looking like Winter is coming!

We have all sorts of Lake Effect Snow warnings up here near Buffalo. I've been to the grocery store and am stocked up for whatever weather hits. Snowblower ready to go, car has snow tires on and full tank.

I'm retired, let it snow!

Stay safe! Theyre calling for 8" here on Sun. I think ill be found drifting my truck around the high school parking lot to get "reaquainted" with winter vehicle control, lol. Hell, i might even bust out a kite and my snowboard if wind and snow allow for it, lol.

It was 2 deg when I woke up this morning. No significant snow but looking forward to it. I can work if I want or I can turn it away if it's to much trouble to get into town. If I need to go anywhere I have an unstoppable modded Samurai.

More than likely I'll leave the keys on the hook, throw another log in the fire, get a hot tea and break out my favorite Savinelli. I'm close enough to a medical retirement I can justify this.

The pool is down to the 70's F., I've been raking leaves, and it's sometimes cool-enough we can turn-off the A-C, and open the eighteen feet of NANAWALL doors onto the pool deck. Gonna use the Caja China come Noche Buena for a roast pig, the cooking is as-much part of the holiday as-is the time in church Dec. 25. http://www.lacajachina.com/ Proudly made in the USA, no need to 'make America great' again, this Miami FL product makes a great, tasty roast of whatever you put into it.

Batten down the hatches, boys, I spent 1/3 of my life in the snow belt, there's a reason I chose to be one degree of latitude above the Tropic of Cancer now. And it has to do with frozen precipitation. Be careful if you have to go out, and carry a survival kit in your vehicle if you get stranded.

Bike shots are Daytona Bike Week, at Boxenstopp's, (RIP Joe) in Holly Hill and east of State Road A1A/Atlantic Ocean.

Who's who at Boxenstopp, forum members, including Rons09, Marcus (see below) and yours truly.

The pic is of Marcus Hickman's carbs after he won his class at the Wyotech Horsepower Shootout at Daytona Bike Week.

Winter is great in South Florida, year-round riding!

+1, since I copped an onset of Fibromyalgia a few years ago extreme cold and extreme heat have been rough. This cold stiffens me right the hell up.

Every place I have been with mild or no winters was seriously overpopulated.
The Dakotas have ~ 10 people/sq mi. WY and MT are most favorable at around 6. CA has around 250, FL 350. It would have to get a whole lot colder than -5 to push me back to the west coast!

The obvious solution is a couple acres in NM for the winter months, which is still pretty livable at around 15ppl/sq mi. I'm actually liking this idea quite a bit.

Getting away from it all is nice, but staying away from it all is priceless! :clapping:
