I woke up this morning to 19* F and 45 mph winds, and blizzard conditions :x
had a nice little 60 car pile-up on I-40. watched a fire truck roll over after sliding on the ice, and getting hit by another car

had a fellow Medic break an ankle after slipping on the ice.

Man I love winter :!: :!:

I was out on my patio today and saw snow on the news. It made me cold watching it. I had to go put a t shirt on...

91.4 Degrees in Sunny Melbourne yesterday Pep,without the drizzle and humidity of Sydney making things sticky in the tweeds. Milking the cows in those really cold temps of the USA would give instant ice cream,I have been shivvering reading some of these posts........Frank..

I think we should blame that Mexican b------d mate...ElNinio. He has now caused flooding around where I live. Yesterday the river broke its banks and traffic was chaotic. Haven't seen that much rain since about 1989. The last 3 weeks I was planning on going on a few runs..alas, the 37 sits waiting. Hoping next Sunday it will be fine, but the forcatst reckons rain..AGAIN!!! :x

Better roadster weather down here Pep,my dogs and cats get scared ,because it rains so little,they are not used to it when it does. What sticks in my craw is that I cannot get to drive the Buick convertible yet,and when I get the opportunity to get it driveable,the drought will break..........Frank

Hit 70 today. Very unusual for this time of year. Well above dew point and very humid. Water was puddling up on concrete all over town. And this evening we have tornado warnings, 60 mph winds, and rain. I'd rather be cold.

I worked hard all my life to retire to a house on a dirt road down by the railroad tracks in an area with an active earhquake fault, tornados, ice storms, and sweltering hot summers. No place is perfect. But sometimes I ask myself "What the #$%& am I doing here?"

Well tomorrow is supposed to be -3Celsius or about 28 fahrenheit , with a pretty good wind whipping up the snow. Found a 73 Comet (maverick)at the wrecker on the weekend, tomorrow will be good enough weather to get the 8" diff out of it.

you up there by the ice road?

Deuce · February 06, 2008, 08:57:04 AM

78 degrees yesterday ... Sunshine and beautiful. About the same forecast today. Rode the Harley about 100 miles yesterday, just riding and playing. Out seeing and being seen. Saw lots of bikes out. Rode past by a local favorite " watering hole for the Harley crowd " and it looked like a Saturday afternoon with all the bikes there.

Came home in the afternoon, got the 32 roadster out and took the wife out to eat supper @ the new Mexican restaurant . Left there and cruised up around the lake and visited some friends. Got home at almost midnight and the temperature was 65 degrees

Real nice now ... but in the late summer ... it does get pretty hot and humid ... :cry:

Bugpac · February 06, 2008, 10:19:10 AM

I seen some crazy bastard on a bike just a week ago, it was about 20 degrees and light snow....

Dont know if he made it were he was going or not, lol...

CQQL33 · February 06, 2008, 11:49:54 AM

Yes, it has been cold here too, but it has only rained twice this past week, once for 3 days and the second time for 4 days (?). Now ice and that white stuff that turns a dark color after a day or two. You know, that stuff you have to shovel out of the driveway. As all of this is going on, my furture X wife is living in our winter home in Arizona (?) ......only in America...... You know what they called it when they found a couple Lawyers had falled through the ice and drowned in Lake Erie..........a pretty good start !!!!!.........
