Snow ? what's that ? .......

Not I, but would like to add one. I was just going to pick up a mount from
Saeng (http://www.saeng.com) and go from there.

Passenger (y/n) ?
I bought a canoe bag from LL Beans that I use for the camping gear. I have
ridden through torrential rain and never had anything get wet. The bag
looks very much like a duffel bag but is made out of rubber covered nylon.
The version I have has a waterproof zipper that runs diagonally the length
of the bag. I keep the tent, ground pad, sleeping bag, inflatable pad and
bike cover all stored in it with plenty of room for the extras. Having one
piece makes tying it off a lot easier. I normally strap it to the passenger
seat - the top box keeps it in place. If I was running with a passenger
then I would loose the top box and tie it off to the rack.
I don't have a picture of it on the ST, but if you use the link below, you
can see the setup on my old Sprint with 2 GiVis.
