After the early part of November turned out to be really nice, not surprisingly things cooled off rapidly. We have been out for a few short rides in the past couple of weeks, but today the snow came down. Yes that picture is the view past the quadracycle in the garage of the white world outside.
So far we have about 4 inches (100 mm) on the ground, with more forecast for tonight and tomorrow. It is always sad when quadracycling season comes to an end, but the bright part is that XC ski season can't be far off!
Here in Ottawa the winters are very unpredictable, especially given the realities of climate change. Last winter was very snowy. The snow came early and we had amazing amounts of it. That made for an early end to quadracycling, but a great skiing season. In 2006/07 winter was very late - we had no real snow until the middle of January and even then it didn't last very long. So you never know when things will pick up again. It may be a great ski season or a poor one. It may be a long winter and a late start to quadracycling in the spring or not. The best part is that we are prepared either way!
As the winter goes on, this blog inevitably slows down, but we will try to post news of the four-wheeled world when we have it available, especially from our other contributors.
Total quadracycling for 2008 - 505.8 km
