Jeez, we've been all the way down to the teens even in TX.
Definitely held my some jetting work. No fun to run triple digit
speeds when near single digit temperatures. Plus, the jetting would be
off at least a size compared to summer anyway. This stuff wanks.
Supposed to go the dealer xmas party tomorrow. Usually take the ol /2, but have never tried to run her down below freezing temps. Should be interesting.

Flattbutt - My dog had the same idea as yours, hanging out in front of the fire while I shovel snow.

Yesterday it was in the 20's, had to detour to get around some ice. Helped a neighbor pick up his Intruder (I had DRz). Today it was 11, power was out at 5am, lit the lanterns & fired up the Honda generator. Got wife & kid gone at 6:30. Power on @ 6:40. I drove the truck.
