Haven't been using the Qingqi for a while because...

...OF THIS!



Using this one now, the Qingqi has to wait a couple of months.

I had only been to Sweden once, in the south, the city closest to Denmark by ferry, and in the summer, so it did not look like that! Very nice, and good to see you are able to enjoy the winter toys now!

That would probably be Helsingborg (the ferry goes between Helsingborg and Helsingör) I live 1900 miles north of Helsinborg.

Thank you; it was Helsingborg. My friend and I went for the day just to say we went to Sweden. I wonder if they have as much snow as your area?

No, they don't. The winters are getting "worse" here also...
-20°C one day ant +3° the next. Snowing and melting...

For those that does't know: C=Celsius, named after the Swedish scientist Anders Celsius who "invented" this temperature scale, but he put 0° as water boiling point and vice versa. Carl von Linné (another Swede) turned the scale around as we know it today.

I believe Fahrenheit was from Holland.

Lots of places are getting the cold treatment this year. For probably the first time in a hundred years there's been a couple days on snow in Chengdu.

It's great that you ride with your family and even on snow too! I've never had the opportunity to play around on a snow-mobile but sure would love to.

Have you put up any pics of your Qingqi?
