Aways had the same effect on me, though I've often been accused of being more dog than man.

 

Been a lovely crisp day here but -8 wind chill makes mewp work miserable.

Is it that the cold neutralises a lot of smells and they're going wild on the ones being pumped out by active heat sources? ie Is it that they can smell themselves and you?

Same applies to Doug.

Love a bit of crisp cold weather, bit of a rarity here in SW France, but a real pleasure feeling the cold wind around you head.

Says -12.  Guys always add a few digits to make it seem more impressive.

Out yesterday, midday for a 20 mile cycle, and the same today, just back, it was "interesting" shall we say, on the couple of untreated roads, had to get off and walk up one small hill, as I could not put any power down without the back wheel squirming. Then on the way back I managed a couple of 2 wheel drifts, where the Sun had thawed the ice just enough to leave it looking like a wet road.

Really, like really, surprised I managed to stay upright.

PHEW!

Cos these old bones don't bounce so good!

Lovely crisp frosty yesterday with light snow mid morning. Freezing rain over night has left our roads lethal but the better half (nurse) dutifully went off at 0700 when I could barely  stand on the road. Fitted the car with proper winter tyres which have transformed it for days like today. Would crash my Hilux within 100 yard of the gate if I had to go out. BFGs are great in the snow but sheet ice they are pretty much useless IME especially with a light back end of a single cab.

 

Pics from yesterday run with the dogs

And a bit of snow on Pew tor on the way back

 

Needless to say the dogs loved it as much as me. Legs are knackered today though
