Vespa Riding in Snow

December 20, 2015 by Scooter in the Sticks 10 Comments

Looks as if the year will end without snow so I had to go digging in the archive for Vespa riding in snow.  This photo was made on Christmas Eve in 2013 in nearby Rothrock State Forest.

Haven’t put the Heidenau snow tires on the scooter yet.  Looks like I can wait awhile longer.

Looks like Christmas Eve this year may get near 60F.  That sounds more like Florida than central Pennsylvania.

Vespa GTS scooter on snowy forest roadMerry Christmas from the sticks to you!  I hope peace, goodwill and plenty come into your life.

After several days of near summer-like weather an arctic front moved through bringing snow squalls and pushing the landscape towards those old, Currier and Ives holiday images.  Just before lunch on Christmas Eve and I saw the snow begin to fall and decided to take a quick ride up the mountain to find a suitable image to share.  The roads were bare until reaching the point where the pavement is no longer salted and snow gathers quickly.

Fresh falling snow always seems peaceful and calm.  An appropriate sense of things for the holidays.

And the kids wait for the arrival of Santa Claus, or in our case, Junior waits for a trove of treats.

Merry Christmas to all and ride safe!
