Endless Winter

Today is March 6 which by my calculations is only 14 days away from the first day of Spring. For the last week our high temperatures have been running about 15° below average and the low temperatures have been below zero, cold even by January standards. These frigid temperatures have caused extensive frost heaving of road surfaces and potholes are the worst I’ve ever seen. We have a considerable snow pack and because of all the snow the roads are covered with a not so thin layer of sand, gravel and salt. The National Weather Service is predicting significantly colder than average temperatures for March.


This begs the question, will there be a motorcycle riding season this year. If one uses logic, the answer of course is yes. However empirical evidence doesn’t support that conclusion. Cabin fever is at an all time high.
