In some places our ditches can be very bad places if there is not much snow.<br />KevinKevin Champagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861625648797635131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124163148682363032.post-31915576527281237012013-02-15T11:53:54.499-08:002013-02-15T11:53:54.499-08:00Dag Kevin,

I think the other velomobil owners to the south might be interested in reading how we handle our longer winters. -8C? I'm jealous. Tonight our low is -30C with a high of -24 tomorrow. <br />Regards Kevin Kevin Champagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861625648797635131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124163148682363032.post-26939353751216993042013-01-20T14:00:47.008-08:002013-01-20T14:00:47.008-08:00Yes, White is a bad color for the snow.

So far I'm the only yellow Quest in our province. :)Kevin Champagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861625648797635131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124163148682363032.post-65904104101025860872013-01-20T08:00:56.632-08:002013-01-20T08:00:56.632-08:00Thx for your post!

That doesn't make it visible when it's behind snowbanks ofcourse. But then again in the Netherlands there is always something else that does the same thing, man made or nature.

Here in the south we do not have electric heaters on the car, but I also have the scraper/brush combination in the car all the time, also the jumpers. At the moment its just -8, and all the snow is gone from the roads, so cycling is no problem at all.<br /><br />Regards, Adri.De Bobsleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796430367606320039noreply@blogger.com
