Poor wittle tyke!!!

I know I can't run the Monster much in the winter here but no tornados, no mosquitoes, skiing!!, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, coyote hunting, enjoying my warm house heated with the wood I cut and split during the summer, eating the food we canned, froze and dehydrated, drinking the hard cider I brewed from our trees.  I love winter - If I could afford it, I'd go to Portillo, Chile for the month of August to ski and get out of the heat and humidity.

Plus - the cold weather runs out the riffraff!

Most important feature of all.

I'm with you Warren. If I could ride my bikes in the winter I wouldn't mind it at all.
Also I was thinking of how the cold weather (snow) makes everything look so beautiful.
Heat does not bring any beauty with it. It just dries stuff up and makes it look worse.
Plus I seem to be getting worse at handling heat/humidity as I get older.
How the makethebeastwithtwobacks do old people move south into that hellfire?

I can prove you wrong.  But then I'd just be showing off even more than the ficifolias

Live indoors with the air conditioning running.

I remember doing some work in Hobbs,NM, which is a dusty oil town in SW New Mexico.  One morning I woke up to 6" of snow there.  It was beautiful for a couple of hours. 
Did you see that dirt bike thread I put on the general forum?  It was a conversion kit for attaching a track system to dirt bikes.  Pretty cool idea.

3 - 5 months of it here. 

I like it too but the novelty can wear off.

This

Its been the second or third coldest winter we have had here in the half century I can remember.  Most of the snow this year went South of us.  By mid March, I am ready for open water so the kayak can go in.  This year though there is 40" of ice on the lake so that will take a bit to melt.  I've always cross country skied so that is some pretty good entertainment.  I seldom ski on trails - usually down the frozen creek behind my place, or around the farms here.  I started downhill again when I was 45 and am really enjoying it.  The hills here aren't anything like out West, but its fun.  I am actually more active in the winter than in the summer.  If you live in the city, I could see where it would get old pretty fast.

Yeah... I was mistaken. I was thinking more along the lines of the baked brown motif.

Warren, I saw your dirt bike with ski/track set-up. A friend I ride with in the summer (S4RS & Hypermotard) has a Husaberg 450 with that set-up. Gotta see if he'll let me try it.

I'd be happy if it would pull my popup ice shanty.  I might have a shot at getting a Rokon from a friend of mine that bought it as a novelty and has let it sit for the last few years.  They aren't too bad in the snow but not nearly as good as that timbertrack outfit.

Gray, yellow and brown snow get old very fast.
