Or is it seem really slow on this forum this winter? Just something I've noticed the last few weeks. Only a couple posts in NMC, 3 in the general monster thread and a few others here and there. All this on a Sunday in the middle of winter.
I know I'm stuck in Siberia better known as Michigan in January, but come on...I live though you guys in better climates to get me through.
Where the Hell did you all go?
It's been real quiet for sure.

What are we pissed off about?
I'm not pissed. [drink]
I tried a new thread but others sunk it. Won't bother doing that again. Kids. [roll] ;)
Winter is just slow. Hard for a lot of the DMFers around the country to do much riding considering how awful the weather is. And riding is what turns our props. The more I ride the more I have to say... much to the chagrin of others. ;D
And nothing like a farting doe to start your day. [popcorn] Maybe we should start a thread about that?

I agree that the riding would spur the forum topics, but I would think lack of ANYTHING thanks to old man winter, the forum would be blowing up due to boredom
Ah hell, lets just turn this into the fart thread.

I think that other forms of social media have somewhat reduced activity on forums in general.
Maybe not.
Maybe this place sucks. ;D

Yep.
Zero degree highs (or less) for extended periods of time make for grumpiness.
I have no idea how you folks in those freezing climates do it. You are either tougher or crazier than me... probably both. [laugh] How in the world do you drag yourself out of bed in the morning knowing it's 0-10 degrees outside, maybe below 0? How much fun is that drive to work? Heck, yesterday I was freezing walking my dog in 10-11 degree wind chills and it's only 28 right now at lunchtime. Yeah, I know, laugh your butt off. But it will be 70 and sunny here on Friday, 60-65 tomorrow. Now who's laughing. [laugh] [beer]
Seriously, more power to you all for dealing with it. Hope your damn heating fuel bills go down soon. I am sure they are gouging the hell out of you all. >:(
Look at the bright side. First WSBK race in about a month at Phillip Island. [thumbsup] [Dolph]

It is not easy, but i have been in MI for my whole life (29 years). I wish I could say I am used to it but this year is different. We have just hit an all time record for snowfall and it is currently -12 degrees with the windchill and will be close to 20 below tonight. I am definitely ready to move south. The wife and I were thinking North Carolina. Still get the seasons, just not as bitter cold in the winter. Where are you from?
Dallas, TX here.
And yes, the Carolinas are beautiful. Just don't dig the hurricane activity in the gulf and on the eastern seaboard. Had my fill of that in Grand Cayman on my honeymoon. [bang]
No two ways about it, this winter has been a kick in the shorts for everyone. Just saw a satellite picture comparison of California Jan. 2013 and Jan. 2014. Last year all the areas of the state that get snow were covered in it, as they should be. This year there was a good 90% less snow. The picture looked like a summer view. It was shocking. No snow = no water run off = more drought = more wild fires. Ugh.
It's the end of the world. [laugh] [drink]
I think it was -13 on my Jeep's dash on the way to work yesterday. Plus wind chill. -11 today.
Over the weekend we had winds approaching 50 MPH and the wind chill temps were allegedly -50. I didn't go out to check.
Low 20s tomorrow, woohoo! make the beast with two backsing heat wave! [thumbsup]

If it was 28 here tomorrow I'd stop wearing a coat.
-10 this morning. No idea what the wind chill was. -35 likely. All the doors in my house are hard to open when its this cold. The jambs all shrink.
The door on my accord opens with noticeable resistance and all roads are a sheet of ice since the salt or the brine don't work well at these temps. Snow packs around the wheel wells on the car and turn to solid ice. Snow/ice also packs in the wheels and requires manual removal or I suffer terribly out of balance wheels that literally shake the whole car and my teeth too.
I run the heater on high the whole way to the shop and even after a 50-60 minute drive its still not hot enough to bother me.
Why do I live here again?

Our winters aren't much different than your summers if you think about it. A cousin lives in Houston and complains of how the summers are so HOT they are stuck indoors and don't do much. And I'm sure your A/C bills probably rival our winter heating bills. I guess you just get used to where you chose to live. I will say we don't get too many hurricanes, earthquakes, and droughts in these parts. So I guess its all relative.
One good thing about all the snow for us...the lakes are in good shape for summer unlike a few years back when we had really low lake levels.
It's all relative for sure. People just adapt no matter where they are. They may not like it but they deal with it. I'd rather battle the heat than winter cold, some are the opposite.
It's a pregnant dog here in the summer when it's still deep in the 90s when you are watching the 10:00 o'clock evening news. And the morning low is mid 80s. You know it will be 95-100 degrees by 10:00 in the morning. I always pity the folks with black painted cars in the summer. Got to be 140+ inside if they sit in the sun. And I think about all the roofers and other outdoor workers in that heat.
Six of one, half dozen of another. No wonder everyone wants to live in a temperate climate. Wonder what it's like to live where the high temp is 75-80 year round. And it rains a nice amount throughout the year. I get tired of watering my house foundation with soaker hoses half the year and watching the lakes dry up. [bang]
Look what we did! We went from no posts, morphed to a fart thread and then to a Weather Channel thread! [laugh] You're right, it's winter, can't ride and we're bored. [roll] [bacon] Next we'll move on to Super Bowl winner picks... [popcorn]
Here, it's 5ºF and there's a couple inches of snow on the ground.

I was hoping someone could identify this odd substance on the ground here in Sacramento. Someone told me it was water but it has been so long since we have seen any that I would like confirmation. ;D
they are tears for jerry
Since this thread has gone off the rails...
Is there an Official Wacky News or Current Events thread? I often have some story/article I want to post but don't think it's worth starting a whole thread; and if there is no picture or video, I can't slide it in the Official Post a Pic / Video threads. If not, I may start one.
I mean, it's a slow winter on here, so "no moto" content is better than no moto content.
I wish that people would mention where the are when citing weather conditions! It helps to know how sorry to feel for you!
