Default Wisconsin weather SUCKS!!@!!!!

Here in Wisconsin we've been totally rooked out of the best riding of the year -- FALL.

This year Sept 20 was the last nice day. It was in the 70s and gorgeous. That night the temp plummetted, and ever since then
it has a) rained; b) been freaking cold or c) all of the above. There hasn't been a decent day since.

I eeked out a couple of short-ish rides on days when it was around 50F. Not impossible if you leather up, but not as nice
as when it's at least 60F.

No end in sight. It seems like as the years pass, summer starts later and fall/winter starts sooner. Might as well move to the north pole.

Global warming -- ya, right -- PLEASE PLEASE bring it on!

Those of you in warmer climes, ENJOY IT, you lucky bastards.

I know. I've been trying to get a barn put up, but it's been too wet.

I save my sick time so that when the good weather strikes in between all the rain and ****, I can ride. I come back to work feeling much better also.

I usually do the same. Unfortunately it's not working this year.

In North East PA, it started raining in June and hasn't stopped yet. I think we had less then 20 sunny days here.

It ain't no picnic here in Indiana either... It's 40* cooler now than it was last week when it was in the upper 80's and low 90's.

Fall arrived REAL quick like here.

Being in the PNW, I know how you feel about the weather but I look at it this way, would you rather have the weather that you are having now or the kind of weather that Florida is having right now? Personally, I'll take the rain any day.

YES. Here too. Last nites rain/snow stripped most of the leaves from the trees. Just when they were getting pretty.

Fellow Badger here... I hear you OP...! We were robbed of FALL all together. Honestly don't recall the last time my bike was even out of the garage. It's been a good couple weeks now. Extended forecast is 30's in the AM and high in the 40's to maybe 50 one or two days. Don't think it's going to change anytime soon. Well it will change... (For the Worse) Snow will be here soon.
