2008 snow thread...
« on: October 29, 2008, 07:59:05 AM »
This is was my drive to work this morning...

Has the dreaded white stuff hit your area yet?

Got a dusting a few weeks ago. It didn't last and it can stay gone for another month or two and I wouldn't mind a bit.

I don't mind if it never snows.  The only time I like snow is when we get 8, 10 maybe 12" of snow at one time, and everything shuts down....then it's kinda "fun".  Anything less is just a PITA annoyance, pisses me off by making my truck dirty.
Did I ever mention that I HATE WINTER?  ARRRRRRRRRRRGH! (as he kicks stuff about, and the dogs seek shelter)!

Now, I'm on the other side of that.  I'm jealous.  We rarely see any snow any more here in the Washington D.C. area.

fortunately it very rarely snows here in the midlands of south carolina, and when it does it doesnt stick. we did get our first frost last night though.

Lots up on the mountain tops but none on the streets, yet!  We took our trail bikes up thru Gray Creek Pass about a month ago and found snow.  Couldn't get out of there quick enough.

Yeah, we whine alot about the white stuff. At least most do.

We had a lake effect snow shower set up over our area and stay there for about 6 hrs. We got about 3-4 inches but it's all gone today  :) No where else, besides eastern Ontario got snow in the south.

Forecast is for great weather for Friday, so I think I'll be able to ride again.

Nothing yet in NE WI.  In fact, we have a nice south wind coming the next few days and today we had 63 and I was able to get in a 50 mile ride this afternoon.  So I expect to get some riding in this weekend.  Then colder weather starting later the next week.  I usually ride the Wing most of the year unless there is ice or snow.  The KO, well that will be in the heated patio again this winter for some cleaning, polishing and just to stare at... ;D
