Default I so freaking HATE!!! Wintertime

Just wanted to get this off my chest while my baby is in the garage freezing her *** off. I so can’t wait till this deep freeze is history in Chicago. I just want to ride. Can’t wait till spring only 58 days left, yes I’m counting. Thinking of moving to Cali to not deal with this crap weather.

Well now you see why we put up with the political morons running (ruining?) this state (CA). It was 60* outside here today.

I'm already here and you could do better. Warmer in Yuma, less crowded in AZ and everything costs less, taxes, gas etc. Thinking bout leaving here for just those reasons but after checking out CO, UT and NV temperatures these days I might as well be in Chicago. So looks like the short list is AZ, HI or out of country.

We lived in SoCal from '72 to 2009, now lived in North County of SLO county. Conservative area, ranches and farming main industries, and gorgeous weather, and rush hour on the 101 lasts about 45 min. I am long retired so avoid that time. ZERO comparison from SoCal to Central Coast area. Believe it or not, cheaper here than SoCal as well. Not AZ cheap but better.

AZ or NM either one will be better. I got sick of the desert heat so no desire to move back into it. Good luck where ever you end up.

This pic was taken in the winter. Its our green season, summer is brown, starting around July here. Northern CA would be worlds better, weather wise, than where you are.

Yehaw, only 4 more months of winter!
Here, in the PNW it hardly ever gets really nice til the end of May. This winter has not been the coldest, wettest, snowiest, but just as long as the rest of them.

I wish all I had to complain about it was not being able to ride. I haul 9000 gallons of liquid propane in bottle to coops and farms 16 hours a day 7 days a week because of it. Try being out in -35 temps and hooking hoses up to load and unload 30 minutes at a time in this weather. That's not counting the wind chill.
Or driving a semi period with all the idiots on the road that don't realize I'm an 80,000# bomb going down the road.
