Re: When Will We Stop Seeing Snow?

When will we stop seeing snow? Well, just this last May long weekend (May 16-18) most certainly didn't turn out to the most mint weather.

It snowed yesterday. It was cold. Visibility on the way back was the scariest part (especially with lots of deer on the icy roads.) Due to the freezing temperatures and high rpms on the highway, I hit reserve (18.5L) at 290km. Right before I left, I put it 17.5L with 390km on the trip meter. So gas mileage suffered, must've had something to do with 150km/hr... I was too cold to stop on the way home (from Rocky Mountain House to Edmonton) that I rode all 230km without putting my foot down. Wet snow periodically would build up on my front fender and windshield, then it'd fly off and hit me in the foot/leg/face. Crazy times, I say. Crazy.







That's one frozen sucker right there.

  1. Mint. I love it.
    note: I'm pleasantly surprised at my cellphone camera. It's the only camera I brought.
