Here in upstate NY, it's the same thing-rain, rain, rain. It's been the wettest spring on record. I think we've had maybe six days it didn't rain all spring, and I rode every one of them.

Man, I don't know how you do that! I hate the gloom, but, you might hate the sunburn. Each to his own! Nice scooter!

I said screw it. Rode to work every day this week and only got drizzled on Monday. Made it home today before it started pouring. I have to admit I thought it was going to start snowing on my way home Monday. I gave up waiting for the sun to come out.

I like your screw it, lets ride attitude.... Worst so-called spring here in Wisc. in memory - and I have lived in this area for 53+ years (not that I remember all of the springs.) Cold and rainy and windy, or just cold and windy. Seems as though almost every day is extremely windy. WTF is going on??? Maybe its the HAARP program up in Alaska!

The residents of Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino mountains east of Los Angeles have said that this is the most snow they've seen in forty years. And it's supposed to snow more with our current storm. Must be that warming up thing we keep hearing about.
