This drives wax techs crazy…

… for race prep, but falling snow is s a best-case scenario for light touring pleasure Can’t ask for better than a blue kick wax day on freshly fallen (and falling) snow, on top of a solid base:

Bill’s probably just some local.

Totally worth driving on roads suddenly made slippery by a light snowfall. Even a light coating of snow with mostly-clear tire tracks was enough to dampen the road noise and the drive was suddenly much quieter. Two accidents on one particular stretch though, and it’s been some time since I’ve had to practice anticipating reduced traction.

Enjoy the winter temps this week.
