Default 3 Weeks Ago

3 weeks ago I was riding around in short sleeves and now I'm looking outside at all this snow accumulating! It sort of reminds me of last year with the quick end to the riding season. One day 50s' and 60s' and the next 10 degrees. For a light dusting we seem to be getting our 1st pounding of the season. Lights occaisionally flicker (still a lot of leaves in the trees). I gotta get the f*** out of NJ!

we've got 3+ inches here now plus it's still coming down. Hell, I don't even know where my snow shovel is yet, and the snow blower is definately way down in the shed. global warming my ***.

You can keep all the snow up there and come south to visit. Snow is not so bad if it only lasts for three or four days.

We only got a dusting here south of Philly... But still annoying. Not looking forward to a long winter. Certainly not ready to park the bike yet due to snow.

yeah, looks like it is going to do the same thing here in la. we didn't have a spring this year, went straight from 'omg, it's cold' to 'how friggin hot is it gonna get?'..... now it looks like it's gonna jump straight into winter now too.

Not to rub it in (too much) but it's supposed to be 68* here today, then mid to upper 70s the next 10 days.

Supposed to get 5-10" of snow. got 24 freaking inches of the white stuff. Thankfully the power only flickered - never went out.
