Why did I block sidecar in?

This is Wisconsin and it is February. No snow on the ground and was 35 degrees today. This is great weather for the 750 HD sidecar rig.
I put it in with 2 bikes that belong to a friend and another of mine. Digging mine out would be a total pain in the neck. But I am tempted.
I have only plowed snow 2 this year and one of those I could have skipped. Sitting here looking out over the farm bare ground.

I feel your pain. Except mine is in the back room of the shop where it's convertible top is to be made. An hour away. And he's on a cruise ship somewhere. sigh.

I have not used 3 gallons of fuel in the Tractor this winter . That includes plowing out my neighbor. Old saying around here is you have to get past the first two weeks of February. That is when most years we get the Big ones .

And somewhere in remote WA at a mine site today it was a balmy 47 deg.
Er Celsius.
Australia.
Glad I'm not there.

NO.....somewhere in remote WA....Washington State....at my ranch, it is a cool 24*...F.
Been snowing off and on all morning.
And, we wish you were here
On the issue of sidecars being stored, and then blocked in, I once again announce that one of you people needs to buy my property, as I can store more than 20 sidecar rigs, indoors or at least under cover, and protected by 3 sides and a roof, and in all cases plugged into Battery Tenders, and none of them would be blocked by any other vehicle.
I am an adamant believer in every vehicle I own being parked INSIDE, out of the weather, contrary to the way that most people leave their cars, pickups, motorcycles, boats, etc, all parked outside, so the weather can cause damage to said vehicles.

I can attest that Mile's ranchette is a gorgeous place, quiet yet accessible. No idea about the interior of the house, but the shop is fabulous. Especially if he leaves the lift in place! (Even if it DID try to murder him upon installation)

I've got to fix a bit of fence today, but then hoping to get out for a short ride. SYZ stays plugged into a battery tender near the roll up door. 😎 Supposed to be in the low 50s, and warming up through the week.
Lack of snow in the mountains, and basin is pretty scary for the water supply, but what a pleasure not to be sub-zero with big gusting winds, as is normal for this time of year.
Last week a car slid on some ice, and crashed through the fence. No one hurt, limited damage. Today the only signs of past ice, is the salt slurry on the side of the road. Crazy days indeed.

Dry, warm winters often mean wet, warm springtime for the plains states. I don't count it over until mid May. That said, we once had 15" of sloppy, heavy wet goo on May 15.

Finally got out today for a back roads trip to the grocery store. It was mid 50s 😎 with no wind to speak of.
The land should be covered with snow, at least a foot or so right now.
The ice on this little reservoir should be thick enough to skate on. While it's frozen over, the little stream that feeds this is not. Skating would be literally on thin ice.
Meanwhile Miss Sidecar Super-Muttress is enjoying life in California at a board & train facility. Learning to wear her Rex Specs, and generally being a goofy puppy. She comes home next month, and we start hunt training. 😊
Supposed to be back in the 40's by the weekend, but almost up to 60 by Friday, so will take advantage of this break.
