Just in time for the new season, another place to post the good rides.
Bring it on.
I'm doing one the last Sunday in May for the MDogs.
It's posted somewhere on the web
Alright I am almost there. bike is insured and registered. next up is to charge the battery and see if she runs. Spring is almost here and I need to go for a ride!

We are a very select group. wt:

Noooooooooooooooo........Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh >:(

which is why i'm not ready :)
neither is my garden
i like fall the best of all the seasons. growing up in maine, we could always count on the four seasons.
snow season- 'nuff said. long and cold. Halloween to Easter, lots of holidays in this season to take some of sting out
rain&mud season - Easter to the fourth of July. great fun if your a little kid, or have a 4x4
tourist&bug season - July fourth to Labor day. we needed the tourists to feed the mosquitoes.
indian summer - Labor day to halloween. tourists gone, bugs dead. leaves turning, sunny sky. crisp days. way too short.
(when i lived in colorado, indian summer was most of the winter. but the foliage was not as brilliant
on the same note....
living on the California Oregon border, i got to witness the California seasons.
flood season
landslide season
fire season
earthquake season
what a place...
HooRaY for INDiaN SuMMeR [moto]
I think the copious amounts of rain are responsible for the leaves turning a few weeks early.
It hasn't gotten cold enough for that.
the nights are getting chilly though...
i'm not ready i tell you!
okie... used the seat heater this morning in the audi :-\
leather seat + cold + skirt = brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

you really have no idea what you're in for do you?
Not even a clue. ;D
i bet he doesn't even own an ice scraper yet [roll] [laugh]
Imagine when the car won't start 'cause it's so cold.
or the first time he has to dig it out of snow before he can even try to start it :-\
ANd then the plow comes by and buries him back in.
yup... our arizona sunshine boy has no idea [laugh]
You guys are gonna give him a complex.
Don't worry Chris...
none of that stuff happens down south where you are...

Or get a garage.
I have a garage, it's a one car and the bike currently resides there. My wife's car "might" fit witht the bike in there, but not my F150.
Also, I have a long handled scraper/brush very similar to this one:

Good choice.
But just keep the jackhammer in the back of your mind.

I've got the same one. that serated chisel side is great for the 1/4 inch of bullet-proof glass that accumulates at night.
the ice storms are the worst...
the one's where your entire car is entombed in 1/2" of ice [bang]
oh, and don't forget to leave the wipers in the "up" position.
someone in my office flips up everyone's wipers when the weather is bad...
where are they when it's time to clean off the car before leaving for the day? [laugh]

I guess not.
It's a pretty easy thing to forget.
You park the car...it's 50 degrees...
You go out in the morning...
it's 10 degrees. :-\
I tend to turn things off when I'm done with the car. The lights, the heat, the windshield wipers if it's been raining....

I'm with DP, it's an adventure to turn your car on in the morning and have the radio blaring, high beams on, wipers going full speed - just helps me say "hello" to the big, new, beautiful day! [laugh] The one thing I try to remember to do is to turn the controller to HIGH DEFROST so I can make the most of my remote starter. That's right, I'm a wimpy remote starter user, but I will never again have a car without it!!!
Unless I move to Costa Rica, of course. ;D

Not likely where I am. Probably single digits, but shouldn't drop much, if any, below zero. I'm just too close to the water...
16°F this morning
forcasted high is 29° and windy!
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It's currently 29. Forecasted high is 30, but with the windchill, feels like 18...
i was just outside and that wind blows right through you (http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/characters/character0080.gif)
i had forgotten how much i dont like new england winters :P
I rode around a bit today. It was actually pleasant with heated gear and a couple of layers. Froze the second I unplugged tho.
While buying some winter clothes today, I spotted something that might allow me to ride in the cold as long as the roads are dry...

in your opinion... what part of the US has the best winter?
Southern California.
You have very mild winters towards the coast, but a short 2 hour drive gets you into Ski Country...
i was more thinking of places that actually have a winter, not places you have to drive 2 hours to get to the snow...
i liked jackson hole... boatloads of dry powder like snow with lots of warm sunshine 8)
2 hours isn't that far. When you get tired of the snow, go back down the mountain.
But, what you're looking for can be found in Oak Creek Canyon AZ. Little town called Sedona. Red Rock country. Beautiful, but kinda expensive to live there...
Quote from: DuCaTiNi on November 23, 2008, 05:39:53 AM
in your opinion... what part of the US has the best winter?
Colorado front range, up north in the fort collins area.
I think it actually snowed today. It wasn't hail, it wasn't really ice. It was "snow" perse, but more like slowly falling crushed ice. There was a slight buildup making it look festive. Although, I had to work all day so it was kinda wasted...
precipitation in the form of ice pellets created by the freezing of rain as it falls is called sleet ;)
snow will fall, don't worry... so much you'll be sick of it by march :)
Well, early this morning, it actually snowed. Real snow, not sleet. We'll be going out to play in a few, just finishing up breakfast. I'll post up some pics of Haley's first snow!
YaY for SNoW!
we got some too (less than 2 in) :-\

Pics are coming, but today's high was 27.
I did learn something though.
Even if you won't be driving that day, it's a good idea to clear the snow off the windshield.
Apparently, the weather warmed up enough yesterday to melt just a little. Enough to put about 1/2" of solid ICE on the bottom part of my windshield. Had to start the truck (don't worry Nate, I didn't leave the wipers on) and the heat and go back inside for a bit...
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Haley!

regardless of circumstances. ;D

Oz, was that Presidents (or MLK?) weekend in 2003? If so, I was up in NH that weekend taking the Winter Blues seminar also (was living in NYC at the time). I've lived here in NH for four years now and the temps haven't dropped as low as they were that weekend in 2003. I remember it being so cold that I worried if I slipped on the ice I would break into a thousand pieces. ;)

I know it was before 2004 ( I remember working at another company back then ) so it very well could have been 2003. I think Eric was quite amused at my cold weather shock :)
That was actually a fun time, I'll have to keep an eye out to see if they have them again.

It was the end pf February 2003. That morning at 10:00 it warmed up to -28.
I'll try to dig up some pics.

I can't believe how warm it is today considering last week. Sunday was a lot of fun. We got about 3-4 inches of snow in Trumbull and we had a two hour sledding/snowball fight session with my little ones in the morning before I took them out to get their Xmas gifts for everyone else.
I really enjoy this time of year,,, Not to mention its almost time for the playoffs !!

... WINTER STORM WATCH NOW IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...
THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
AT THIS TIME... THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SIGNIFICANT ICING... DUE TO FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET... FROM THE FOOTHILLS TO INTERIOR COASTAL COUNTIES... AND HEAVY SNOWFALL OF 6 INCHES OR MORE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS... WITH SOME SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN ON THE COAST THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING BEFORE A CHANGE TO RAIN.
HOWEVER... THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS COASTAL STORM REMAINS UNCERTAIN... AND WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE WHERE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ICING AND SNOWFALL WILL OCCUR. IT IS LIKELY THAT TRAVEL CONDITIONS WILL BECOME DIFFICULT BY LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.
my driveway is a hockey rink now...........almost busted my ass taken the trash out to the street
it has rained all day... and it's just starting to turn to sleet now
It's still above freezing here, about 39. We're not supposed to get any snow til next week....
Beautiful day here. [roll]
I notice none of you posted yet today.
No power?
no power at home but I do have power at the office.
the wood stove is very handy in times like these.
I wish I had bought that generator this summer I saw at a garage sale. Looks like all the freezer contents are going to moved to the cold garage.
a local grocery store lost power and has all their dairy and meat products outside.
3 out of 5 people don't have power in NH. things are going to get worse tonight (that's what they're saying). all the trees are loaded with ice and the wind is picking up. PSNH is estimating a few days.
Just got electrickery back after it went out about 5 this morning.
Last night was a hell of a night to have the command holiday party.
Base lost power sometime before 3am, we got power back at the school sometime around 10am. House never lost power...
We never lost ours today.
I guess the Co-Op is good for something. :-\
lost power here for about 4hrs.
the birch trees were bent over touching the ground.
about 1pm it warmed up to about 45*,,,
all the ice melted, and the trees stood back up..
We had some of those here. A cluster of three of them downtown looked like a giant peeled banana.
we had a blip of powr loss in the middle of last night, but we're good now [thumbsup]
water's gone now.
just the remainder of ice, ice..
the ground is still white.

Any time you want. Just shoot me a PM.
Hope you get power back soon.

life is good.
Probably get you one o them Steeels... ;D
Managed to get a ride in today... it's a bit icy in the hills, but otherwise, a great day to get out! ;D

i could keep you and your new chainsaw busy if you're bored later this winter ;D
We got our power back early Saturday morning. Still a lot of people in town without. When they first tried to turn the power back on, a pole down the street from us was sparking. When I say sparking I mean it lit up the whole town. The show didn't last long, the power went out again. This happened 3 or 4 time before they realized what was going on. It was like the July 4th.
I still don't have internet or TV.
the longest we've been without power was 5 days :-\
a few years back, a november ice storm hit full force.
my fish, davis, died from the cold.
power went out a few times today, but seems pretty steady overall.
still parts of my town without any juice.
My friend in Harrisville was told 6-10 days.... :o :o
6-10 days! :o
that's gonna cause a lot of problems...
That would be devastating....
just got my power back yesterday afternoon. Lost it last Thursday, about 8:30pm. Lucky I've got a generator. I've got family who are being told they won't be restored until next Monday.

Where are you located?
Merrimack, NH. Almost the whole town lost power. Still are several areas in town that are dark. Monadnock area really got pounded. They've cancelled school until the New Year.
Getting a light dusting. Sticking to hard surfaces like cars, but melting on the ground. Air temp is still technically above freezing, but that should drop around midnight. Supposed to warm up again tomorrow. That's a good thing, since my oldest daughter is flying out tomorrow from Phoenix. Non stop flight from Phx to T.F. Green. Gets in tomorrow evening and will be here through the holidays....
we got about an inch of snow with ice still accumulating on top of it.
it is supposed to change over to rain.
have fun visiting with your daughter chris!
...hopefully she will bring her jacket, hat, scarf, gloves, and big IZ_ sweater :)
3-4 inches on my driveway this morning

Took me about 25 minutes to get home.
I live less than 3 miles from work!
Also, the truck (2WD F150) was still sliding around a bit trying to find traction with 300lbs of tubesand in the bed...
It gets better.... ;D

I don't...
my bike only weighs about 400# ;D
I can tow 5k with my truck. That's plenty for me. It's pulled my 240SX on an auto hauler from SoCal to Phx no problem.
But, I just got back from shoveling snow outside my school. Dipshits didn't deliver any salt to throw down before it got real bad so I had about 8" of snow to shovel around the entire building. Took me and 2 other people over an hour to finish!

HAHA thanks!
Is that a 2wd Ural or something?
I think it is a Zundapp... Could be wrong though. :)
Well, the snow turned to sleet, turned to freezing rain then back to snow again this afternoon. Roads were just a bit slick....

We're getting buried right now.
I really hope we don't get as much snow as last year.
That kinda sucked. :-\
I am, I won't let my wife drive though. I actually like sliding around, it's fun. I used to drift a little in the 240...
There's no snow....

Actually, my life right now consists of going to school for 10-12 hours a day...
It was so nice of the snow plow to NOT come by today to clear the slush. It's now in the 20's and all that nice lovely slush is frozen solid, despite the fact that I threw down salt just yesterday. Thanks a lot ASSHOLE!
Guys on base did that for us last year.
We had a day or two in like late Feb where it was relatively warm and rained. All of the snow on the ground became slush and it was really easy to just slop the crap out of the way.
The guys who plow never managed to get to the barracks. Sections of the sidewalk were frozen until after Easter.
I just went out with the snowblower. We have about 14", and 3-4" more fell in the hour an a half it took me to clear my driveway and walkways. I'm glad it's cold so it's all powder. I like to play in the snow, but I hope it ends soon.
well, it stopped snowing at around midnight last night
then the wind started up, and this morning my driveway, walk, etc.... are all under 18" of drifted snow.....

got home last night around 9pm, after being away all weekend, to 8" on top of the 12" we got friday.
yesterday's road trip home had to be the worst winter driving ever, 9 hrs for a 4 hr drive...

Okay, now it's officially cold! The temp was in the negative range this morning, Fortunately it was too dark to get an exact reading (I don't think I could emotionally handled it) but it looked like somewhere around -5.
