About 8" of snow, now, in the woods, so barring an unusual winter thaw, I doubt I'll see any green grass until late April or May. That would be in a normal year, but these past few winters have been anything but normal. We all know that global warming is a Chinese hoax, though, right? (What an idiot!)

Still managed to do some trail riding, this week, by using the snowblower and shovel to clear one loop of my trials, but that is a LOT of work and, of course, it lasts only as long as the next snowfall. Doubt I can keep doing it all winter. Will end up doing most of my riding out on our winter roads, sooner or later. Got to keep my ride everyday thing going.

The good news, though, is that the rest of my trail system is great for my XC skiing. Still a great workout and, of course, a joy to do in its own right, but I find that it is not quite as good for my wind as the bike work.
