Beautiful country, wish I were there!

lol, mold
A good comparison,

however
Here, Most like snow & walking on water.
The short days (5 hours) long darkness
thats the toughest.
Gotta get outside , like to SoCal for a vacation & some sun (vitamin D ) for a few weeks (or more )

On Saturday I did something I've never done before: I visited an active ski area via motorcycle.
It was opening day at Loveland Ski Area.

The moderators need to delete this thread.......maybe that would keep the white stuff from continuing to head south.

Good thought.

Suspect the "Arctic Vortex" in your area
might originate here in Alaska. ?

47° here, 25 mph wind , gust 45, mixed with rain now & then.
White caps on the puddles...
No ride for me today
