Well,...old man winter has set his foot in the door for now and it's going to be looking like this for at least a few hours now.....
All this because I went and bought a bike which I thought I could ride for most of the winter out here, since from what Wendy told me " It NEVER snows on the island and if it does, it's gone the next day"........you be the judge.

We got about 16 inches of snow here in North Idaho also, but thankfully it finally stopped snowing a couple hours ago... ::)

Looks like your bike is ready to go, it's even giving you the green light. What are those tall fences running along 2 sides of something?


Those fences are for the driving range.....I live on a golf course.........

Hi Ken... ;)

My sister called me this morning, said they had snow on the island, I just laughed at her, everything shuts down on the island and in Vancouver when they get a snow flake.  ;D LOL

We have two children stationed in B.C. and two on the East Coast of Canada.  I have a sister and a brother on both coasts as well with the rest like our children and family all over the planet.

We have about a good foot of snow here now but yesterday and last night we had freezing rain, power was out in a lot of places along the Highway #7 corridor.  Very high winds right now and more snow on the way, good day to stay inside by the fireplace and enjoy a good Brandy.

Don't worry Ken the temperature will be up in the two digits this week again and you can kiss the snow goodby.   :'(

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
