Today I let it sit out in the cold damp Ohio weather.

Cold and damp in Atlanta today....but mine is dry and snuggly in the garage.

Mine is envious of yours... the wife's HR-V gets the garage and I'm pretty sure the Ridgeline wouldn't fit in anyway.

didn’t really need a pickup to do this but….. View attachment 460718

I've seen pictures on the bikes on the tailgate, how does that work? What do you put over the tail gate and is the bike tied down some way? I've been curious about this.

Yesterday and today I let snow build up on my 2023 Ridgeline. I'm retired, it's 1°F out there and I'm in a hurry to go nowhere.

Probably go out to eat around 4:30 pm (find we can beat the dinner rush anywhere we go... one more nice thing about being retired), probably take the Ridgeline, although the HR-V is AWD too.

In this thread, tell us what you did with your G2 Ridgeline today. Pictures encouraged!

Looked at the layer of ice enclosing it from a winter storm here.

Where's the pic(s)?

Not worth taking pictures, just looked all wet and shiny Had the Ranger encased one year too. Thank goodness it was a snow day for school, I didn't have to go in. Would have taken a bit of time to de-ice the windshield and get in the door. I'm not too much for the picture stuff I guess.

Today, while shoveling out my 60 foot driveway, I brushed about 6" of snow off of my Ridgeline... and it's snowing again. It was in the forties a few days ago... tomorrow and for the next couple days highs will be in the upper teens... welcome to Ohio.

At least you're not teens below zero. Here's our latest forecast:

Really, here it is the roller coaster effect of Ohio winters. The snow I shoveled had slush underneath because it started out as rain, temperature dropped and snow... just flip flops around. worst I dealt with shoveling was the time there was around 6-8", then a light warming with some iight rain, then snow again. Like an Oreo cookie, it had snow/ice/snow. And it was literally quite heavy to shovel.

A lot of places a couple hundred miles above us will have far more snow and colder weather. Difference is the density of the snow. But they have serious cold temperatures. I'll take the shoveling a couple times a year over the continuous cold temps. Fact is I tolerate Ohio for the spring/summer/fall seasons making for great motorcycling in the east and southeast parts of the state.

Put my license plate stickers on the plate before I get picked up for expired plates, even though they aren't expired. Avoid the nuisance of being pulled over.
