After last night's snowfall we woke up to this today.

Put my motorbike gear on to keep warm, and cleared the car. Now I am officially knackered and will be having a beer to recover. Purely for medicinal purposes you understand!

There's more snow forecast over the next few days, and the sky in my pics was full of it. Poxy council never gritted the roads despite severe weather warnings. Looking at the news this morning and it seems England has been brought to a standstill yet again....some things never change!

We had snow at the end of October, and some in January, but that's all gone now. The temps rose to nearly 60* in February, and we've got clear skies and 40-50* temps for the next few days. That's CT for ya! :lol:

wow that has style cues from many kawi bikes.. pretty neat little fella .. its... "cute"

i often forget how many bikes ther are there, and that many of them are small cc bikes too. making them great for commuting and milage.

i will have to look.. or start a thread on gpona members motorcycles..

Snow's still on the ground in places, but is still bitterly cold. Had rain last night which has turned everywhere into an ice rink. Temp dropped to -16 last night.

Every raindrop on the car had frozen, creating a really wierd effect; wish I'd taken pics before it all melted.

We finally got some snow overnight too. Its been strangely warm and not a lick of moisture for 2 months up here in Kha-na-da, but upon waking up, I see there is 4 inches of snow on the ground, but the temperature is still a bit warm. Above 0 C anyways (I think that's aboot 32 F)
