Snow sky. It's on its way.

There it is.

Not much accumulation but the temp is supposed to nosedive to the single digits tonight

A sidecar would be nice for winter riding. -2 here in Central Oregon this morning but sunny with a ultra blue sky. About 8" of snow on the ground. 12 more days until I can leave for Arizona. Can't wait.

We got our first snow today also. Took the go kart out and slid around for an hour.

We got 5 inches of snow last Friday.

I was shoveling the white stuff for the first time this winter, and I know it won't be the last time.

I visited Edmonton for two weeks, and they had plenty of snow. I'm happy to be back on the wet coast.

Now I do know winter is upon us. The doors on my wife's Audi were frozen shut again this morning.

I am so thankful for covered parking.

Do you ever use silicone spray on the seals? It really helps, and it keeps noise down in the summer months.

For those who haven't tried it, apply it to a cloth, and then rub the cloth on the seal. Don't spray directly on the seal.

I visited Bro-in-law over the weekend in Calgary, and he has a portable shelter that he parks under. It makes all the difference, as he never has to scrape or sweep.

Silicone spray, wd-40, and even Pam cooking spray. It's a crapshoot on what works and when.

I like JAX food grade silicone spray. Good stuff.

Whatever Mrs. C used is working pretty good.

Bump.

Jeep Parking Only. My snowbank is back.

I'll be in Toronto soon, and it's cold and snowy there. I wish we could have our annual company conference on the West coast.
