Jeeze! All that snow looks brutal! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to freshen up my drink. 
It's 32 here, snow on the ground. Possible more tonight.
Would you like to know where you can put your drink?
Weather didn't keep me from riding today.
Well they say one picture is worth a thousand words:
If you look close you can just make out the driveway from lower right side of picture to the road. At least the road was black again today!

It wasn't that much snow but it kept the mail from coming. Whatever happened to "neither, rain nor. sleet nor snow"?
BTW, UPS was out today...

What!?
I never met a boss that let you say “ Gee I don’t know.....it’s really icky out there. “
It's irritating since I have been waiting for a coil spring compressor that should have been delivered Friday. Here's what our local USPS says:
- Feb 8, 2020 6:53pm Held at Post Office, At Customer Request
- Feb 8, 2020 12:08pm Delivery Exception, Local Weather Delay
- Feb 8, 2020 7:10am Out for Delivery
BTW, The temps were above freezing and there was no ice. Like I said, I saw a UPS truck out there so...
We're experiencing Storm Chiara - high winds and very heavy rain. But went for my morning walk today as always, down to the river Tweed. Then, usually walk along the river bank. But today, there is no river bank.
Didn't have a camera with me so no pictures.
I can hardly believe the change in just 24 hours. Have never seen the Tweed so high. The river has come up so far that a bench, for people to sit and admire the view, is underwater. Flooded river rushing through lower part of the woods - definitely not safe to continue along the very steep, overgrown slope with a fast-flowing spate waiting to sweep away anybody foolish enough to fall in . . .
Turned back for first time ever.

I keep tell'n myself.... 90 or less days..and it's time to break out the summer toys ! ! !
One year we had record rainfall here in the desert and a nearby , normally dry riverbed, was said to be flowing like a raging river. Me and a couple other guys went to go see it and it was impressive. There were full grown trees being swept down the river at a furious pace. We were standing about six feet back from the edge of the water on an elevated area when suddenly all the ground in front of us simply fell into the river and was swept away! The fast moving water had undercut the bank. If we had been standing any closer at all, we all would’ve gone right in!
For the first time in about 3 weeks it is sunny here on Canada’s southern coast - THANK GOODNESS! I have been telling people that it’s a good thing the windows in my office don’t open or I would have jumped out.
Anyhow, it is a cold (30 deg. F / -2C but it feels like about 21 deg. F / -6C), crisp, but bright and sunny day and so, while we cannot ride, I’ll take it!

Oooohhhh yesssss, it sure does Beags!
It's cold and the Columbia river is quite full of snow melt flowing from East this morning.
Still way too early for motorcycling weather but the birds getting anxious for spring here like the rest of us.

Last week, reported the River Tweed was higher than I have ever seen it. That was Storm Chiara, now we have Storm Dennis - who dreams up these names? Heavy rain all night, and the river has again reached the same level as last Sunday.
Once again, could not complete my daily walk - had to turn back as the river bank is under water. But this time, had a camera.
This is the path down to the river - a bit damp in places!
Where the path meets the river bank:
The bench seat is again underwater - that Loch Ness monster in the near middle of the picture is where the seat has caught a couple of branches. The normal route for my walk is turn left in front of the sign post and walk along the bank - usually, the path is several metres above the water level. Oh, and that flooded river is moving fast.
No route today turning right either:
