    I also hate winter, here in The North east we have snow from Nov. to April Yuck! Our temps here have been in the 40's and we have had 1 good snow storm on Thanksgiving Week-end.

    I am looking forward to Spring, so I ride my spyder. Deanna

    You guys are sicko,
    Up here in New England we love winter, no grass to cut,
    if it snows we shovel, go to the car wash, we even
    have special jackets, hats and gloves for the cold weather.
    Our Spyders get to rest for 5 months, it's just great.

    I sure hope there is not a limit to how many days in paradise a person is allowed...

    I just got back a week and half ago from Boston. Was there for 2 weeks. Major gridlock, cold, windy, wet and gets dark at 4pm.

    Didn't remember it being that bad growing up there, but now with a better standard to compare to IMHO, you guys can have the change of colors. Nothing wrong with a nice palm tree looking the same all year long.

    Default Winter..??

    I question it as we moved to San Diego from Stamford CT. We do have cold nights (mid to low 30's) but days get back up and always ryding weather. It is a bother to have to put on heavier jackets but then that's winter here... nothing like the northeast...

    They are forecasting S N O W for Las Vegas on New Years Eve I guess I didn't move far enough south. A group of us are riding on Tuesday and the high is forecast for 49. One guy wants to go shopping for heated gear tomorrow.

    I was out yesterday on my Spyder and ended up coming home by 5pm because it was getting dark and my night vision isn't what it used to be.

    Darn, I hate winter.

    You know as much as you guys in the north, think that were joking about winter, we're really bitching about wearing a sweatshirt in the winter.
    In my house we call that a "first world problem"
