When will we finally get some decent weather

[98Redlne]

Seems like the weather has been consistently crappy this spring.

Feels like it rains 2 on, 1 off all the time.

Come on mother nature....cut us riders a break and how about a few warm, sunny Saturdays?

 

[dannymax]

I agree.....anything in the 50's with some sun would be fine. We're having a piss poor spring, that's for sure!

 

[gamorg02]

i try to make the time when its nice, however thats mostly been during the week. i think i'm almost at 1k for the yr.

 

[06VMAXIMUS]

Sick of the rain every day! I have been trying to install a fence on my property line, and the only day I made any progress was last Sunday. No rain but 30mph winds to contend with. Now its all rain for the next 6 days!

Here's what we have.... Thankfully we're not in the snow. I have my summer tires on so I'd be SOL.

That's some nasty shit, right there.....and headed right straight for us! The last 4 or 5 rain storms I could kinda handle, figuring they were washing the salt off....but, the fuckin' salt is gone already!!

And now there's a good chance of more snow and.....and....wait for it......YES....MORE FUCKIN' SALT!! :bang head:

Still better off than those poor folks in the tornado outbreak area....man, that's really awful! :sad2:

 

[Redbone]

I'm looking at a forecast of 1-3" (it was 6-8") of snow for tonight!:bang head:
They shouldn't salt at all with just 3" of snow. :confused2:
Maybe it will just rain!:eusa_pray:

Mike.....with weather like that I might be tempted to go find a section of rope and a good solid tree branch.

....funny, I don't remember moving to Seattle :bang head:

 

[VMike]

Man I honestly feel for you guys dealing with the bad weather.I'm a native Texan and grew up in central Texas and Arkansas where we got occasional snow and sometimes black ice but nothing like you guys describe. It wasn't until I went to boot camp in Great Lakes Il. in the winter that I discovered what true winter conditions were like.lmao We have two sons who live in Iowa and I've seen the results of salt on the road ways. I remember seeing cars that were only a few years old all rusted out. That stuff really takes a toll. Anyway just rambling on here and what I really wanted to say is I hope it clears up soon back there so you guys can get some ridin' in. unk:

We're just whining Mike, that's what we do up here but thanks for the good wishes! :rofl_200:

Great Lakes....ey? I've always said the coldest I've ever been in my whole life was 10? below zero on those parade grounds!! I've seen a lot colder temps than that but there's just somethin' about those winds off the Great Lakes....man!!

I saw that Brian, it's gonna swing by your place before dieseling east.....fuckin' lovely! :bang head:

 

[Redbone]

Ha, Chicago is windy and cold but they do not get the snow that those of us on the east side of the Great lakes get. We get hit with the North Dakota weather and they get hit with the Kansas and Iowa weather. Ask EvilD about snowfall in Buffalo!
But I'll take the snow vs the tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes and flooding any day.:eusa_dance::biglaugh:

A few years ago, 5 of us took a trip from Dallas to Canada around the Great Lakes. We were in t-shirts as it was pretty hot. When we got near Lake Michigan (the east side) the temp dropped 40 degrees. We had to stop and put on coats and gloves. Couldn't believe the temp difference!!

Lived in w. NY just off Lake Ontario between Buffalo & Syracuse. Ten ft. of snow/yr. was typical. The drifts would let you walk up onto the roof & we had a 15' single-story ridge beam! I was awakened by my father more than once to 'go outside and shovel the driveway so I can get to work in the morning.' I did have 3 older brothers to share the work, & a huge self-propelled 2-stage TORO 'blower. Then the town snowplow comes by & deposits a 1' X 2' "berm" clearing the roads...at the bottom of the drive, which was about a 20% grade double driveway. Loved the icestorms, you could go outside and listen to the tree limbs snapping from the weight of the layers of ice. Unfortunately, they often took the power lines with them.

Then we moved to SW MI and I got to enjoy the effects of Lake MI on the countryside, a bit below Grand Rapids.

Traded all that for hurricanes in south FL after a few years. A worthwhile tradeoff as far as I am concerned. Riding year-round and you won't freeze to death. Heat exhaustion vs. hypothermia? I'll wipe the sweat, I have a generator when the power goes out.

Hope you guys get to ride regularly before May.

Funny to think about it, but I'm pushing past the 1k mark already this season in Alaska. Already had some guy shouting at me at the light to gun it so his buddy could see how fast it was. They use sand, not salt so I have to wait for them to clean it up before I can do any spirited driving in the bends; does that count? I wouldn't want to be accused of rubbing Anyones face in it...:eusa_dance:

Nah, you're from Alaska, so you are cool! :biglaugh:

 

[Rusty McNeil]

We've been having bright sunny warm days for a while now on the Gulf Coast...hit 90 today..

Course were in a drought too, and half the state is on fire, so I guess there is a trade off.

 

[Buster Hymen]

I watched it snow today! :damn angry::damn angry:
