There was a time when the cold didn't bother me,but I am sick of it now.I go into the garage and tinker around with the Grizzly, and think I am going to go for a ride,but when I open the garage door and the freezing cold blasts in I just turn around and close the door and get pissed off that I can't ride.It hasn't been this cold, this long, in a long time.And I live in the most southern part of Canada.I think it's time to start going to Arizona for the winter,with the Grizzly!!

I hear ya Galoot,
It's been so **** cold here in NB for all of January. Feb is good so far, If temperatures stick around -10C as it is today, I will be logging some good trail time!

 

[robg]

I can relate. The only way it works for me is to dress very warmly and plan a cool ride that'll last most of the day. That way it makes it worth your while to get all dressed up to deal with the temps.

Plus other goodies like handguards and grip heaters make a huge difference...

I grew up in St.Paul MN. Loved it as a kid in the winter, as I grew older and had to deal with it as an adult it sucked. Not as much play time I supose. Got stationed in South Carolina with the USAF in 1983 and only go home to visit durring the peek months. May and October.. They refer to me as a "dam" yankee down here. Thats the kind that don't go back...lol

Warm spell for us sunny and 50 today

 

[grizzfan]

It's been warm (-5, -10) for the past few days. Logged 300KM over the weekend. The great outdoors!

I still ride @ -20, -25C. Got a very warm outfit (GKX) + Windshield and hot grips.

Griz Owner,

I feel your pain. I lived in Minnesota for 12 years and now live in AZ. Went out this weekend and the temp was 66. The thing you don't always here about is in the summer it will hit 115. No fun riding in July and August. Bottomline is no matter where you live, there will be some down time.

Happy trailing!
BC

Hey Galoot,

Come ride here in South Africa, escape the cold!!
Yesterday in Capetown it was 122 degrees!!

""Cape Town - Record maximum temperatures in many towns and cities in the Western Cape - with Vredendal recording a maximum of nearly 50°C - had many people desperately seeking ways to cool off on Sunday. ""

Getting warmer here in good old Canada!! Suppose to be 8c today! should be a blast? lots of mud and still some snow in the bush! Still 114 degrees cooler than the Beasts local but i will take it.........Irv

Starting to warm up here finally, been in the 50's for the last couple of days and now for tuesday they are calling for the low 70's. Soon the trails open and hopefully we will get out on them.

 

[homer905]

Man, ATVing in South Africa. THAT would be cool. Do you ever worry about what might come bounding out of the bush at you when you are out on the trails?

 

[sneutel]

Hey Larry,

ATVing here is great (mind you we look at you guys ATVing in the snow and we think thats opretty cool too)!!

Take a look at quad4fun, he has some great pics of SA

May 2nd here in Oshawa Canada and what a day! Snow, rain, hail, and sun! When is it going to warm up? High of "0" tonight! Come on already, it's May!!!

i wish i had the same riding season as all of you guys, today is oct, 16 and i am in the middle of an winter storm watch, issued by nav canda station. the coldest it got today is about -15c with the windchill. here is a picture of my family fishing at the end of may. this will say a lot about our weather and climate here in nunavut, canada. talk to all later. bm

 

[nunavut]

hello everyone, i am writing to say that in rankin inlet, it is -29c, with a wind chill factor of -45c.right now. and for the next four days the average high is going to be roughly -25c. with a average low of -29c. and it only going to worse within the next two, three month.


and the picture here. a little bit of snow after a blizzard.

 

[nunavut]

and the pic. above is not a recent blizzard, that storm was early in the year.

Bobby,

That is some serious cold mate.

Do you have trouble with Polar Bears up there? Keep safe in the cold.

Cheers Noel

 

[irv]

That is pretty cold Bobby! I woke up this morning and it was -14C out. The only trouble around here with the cold is the amount of moisture in the air! It makes it feel twice as cold as it is! Once you get away from Lake Ontario like a couple hours north, minus -20 feels feels like plus +5 up there. They say this is going to be one of the coldest Decembers on record? I will believe that when it happens........Irv
