The way they make sleds nowadays is awesome heated handgrips, heated visor, heated seat, heat exchangers under the running boards, high windshields, lots of suspension travel, warm up shacks, only down fall I see is it’s pricey for machines and riding expenses. But same for dart a little more so for the dart.

Also you can’t beat a cold January night with a full moon. The light reflects off the snow if you are away from light pollution you can turn the headlights off on the sled and ride like day time. Always amazed me at how good you could see the definition in the snow banks.
 
I like winter...

Its so bright here on a night with a clear sky and full moon. I do thoroughly enjoy the northern lights too.
 
No thanks on winter. My great grandparents left frosty Denmark and Sweden for toasty Texas for a reason.

i know folks from the frosty north that could not wait to retire in the toasty south. I don’t anyone from the toasty south that was looking to retire in the lands of ice and snow.
 
Never worked in snow. Im keeping it like that. Its 43F at 0700 out now and that's about as cold as it gets here. A week in Korea in November sealed that deal.....

Ya and at -38 the air is so condensed it leans that 700 yamy 2 stroke out and puts lots of bite in the snow boy does that thing move got to be careful they like to melt pistons if you hold it to the bar for to long.
 
3-6 inches of wet heavy snow coming overnight for us cheeseheads. Just in time for the morning commute!
 
Winter in the Virginia foot hills is why I moved to Texas, I had all I could stand of the white stuff falling from the sky.
 
i used to enjoy all the winter sports but got soft and lazy and began to hate winter. Last couple of years
i've been forcing myself to do things outdoors again and when i come in from the cold i feel great!
Don't mind it so much now.

Funny thing abut winter u can always put more clothes on to keep warm. But u can only take so many off when it gets really hot.

If you put on enough to stay warm, you can’t move. I can work outside in jeans or shorts & t-shirt or no shirt.

When it’s time for recreation, you see people wearing so much insulation, you can’t tell their gender, much less what they look like. We see bikinis, swimsuits, shorts, halter tops and tank tops.

I know which I, and most others prefer. If I’m wrong, explain why Biff’s posts aren’t heavily clad...

Ya know arguing with a bricklayer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud after awhile you realize that the pig enjoys it :lol:
 
Yeah I know it is cold here in Sydney the last few days! Hasn't got over 18c (66f) for the last few days. This time of the year it is normally over 40c (110f) Great beach weather just to perv on those scantily clad beach bunnies we have down here.
 
And,its snowing...
Just got motor back in my truck and plowed the driveway today. And its snowing again! crap!
at least i dont have to use my old tractor. That would suck.
When i worked for the province, i had to plow the parks yard,little kubota with a 5 foot bucket. Poor man’s heated cab, that was 7 years ago, i think. Snowed twice a week i think.
