We were in the mid 60's yesterday (nice afternoon ride) and back to rain (as far as they forecast).
This must be Global warming I guess...

Seriously though, snowed 3 x here last week. Just melted yesterday.
Today, tomorrow and Thursday supposed to be in the 60's and then we're supposed to get the worst snow we've had yet this coming Friday.
I can't really imagine how that could be since we've already had 11 inches in one snow.

As the thread starter, here is my update from Southern Michigan. Last Sunday am, 15 degrees, but sunny, high of 40. Yesterday 6pm, looking out my window and snowing like a banshee. I keep looking at my calendar thinking something is not right. Bad today, but......Wednesday - 50, Thursday - 60 and Friday - 70. But, that's it, then back to crap for 7 days. Thursday will be a ride day for sure.

It must be warm somewhere.




Right there with you brother. I'll go out to the garage, sit on my bike and my vroooooom vrooooooom sounds in anticipation of ....the ride!


Not sure about you're neck of the woods, but they are predicting 70's in NJ this Sat. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

Snow tomorrow followed by cool temps for the next few days. No riding yet.

Friday-high 29 low 17
Saturday-high 33 low 14
Sunday-high 35 low 15
Monday-high 37 low 24

On the bright side, they cancelled the blizzard on Friday and low 40's by the middle of next week. Let the melt begin. (6-16" of snow in the yard)

Feels good to whine.

Suppose to be in the high 70's thursday here with 40 mph winds. I'll ride the King in for work and wish I hadn't coming home.
