Rode this 3 wheeled sucker into town and loaded it with $200 worth of groceries on Christmas Eve. People were pointing and laughing...   |

There is currently an Ice jam on the St Clair river causing flooding, Larry Gill lives right on the river there. How are you making out Larry?

that is what I was thinking, big man on a girly bike...  no worries, I get that laugh some when I drive my 250cc scooter being 285lbs.... all until I pass their _ss doing 65+mph on the hwy. thinking I have a supercharger or NOS on it.... From a distance it looks to be a normal smaller scoot, but is pretty big framed/engine for it's size even with me on it. My frame just makes the cycle's frame look small is all... |

Agreed Joe. Same 7* last night in VA. What is so crazy about this weather is it's duration. I mean, we've occasionally had this cold and even colder over the years, but in 25yrs, we've never been at or well below freezing for several weeks at a time. Never. It's getting old. Good to be retired, and I am trying to emulate the bears and just sleep my way through it.
Except when it gets to the high 90's w humidity, it's not much fun for me either. I am not in good enough shape and it makes me woozy (at some point), even drinking lots of water. But that usually doesn't last for weeks at a time either.
I cannot remember hoping for 40's before, but I am now. (maybe next week)

They claim high 50's low 60's for late next week here I've got to be back at work tomorrow evening near the Kentucky line. I just wasted two weeks vacation with temp never getting up to anywhere near going on a motorcycle road trip . |

But two weeks off work (in any weather) must never be viewed as a bad thing. On the upside, I'm sure the wife was glad to have you hanging around for 2 weeks (of grumpy).  |

It's FINALLY supposed to get over freezing (32F) tomorrow afternoon sometime - first time in over a week. I HATE cold !!!
Quote from my usual local station on this cold snap --
"As of noon, the temperature at RDU is 23 degrees and has been at or below freezing since 2 AM last Sunday, or 155 consecutive hours. The old record for such a stretch at RDU was 157 hours ending on January 16, 1982. We have a good chance to tie that record at 2 PM this afternoon and break it at 3 PM. Then, we're forecasting 32 for a high Sunday. If we we sneak past that by a degree or two, the streak ends Sunday afternoon - if not, the new record will extend into sometime around late morning or midday Monday."
My outside thermometers are indicating well below 32F right now....

I just came back from the mailbox, after skipping three days.
Every bit of it was junk.
I'll go out next week sometime.

Man, if I jumped here, I'd be afraid of being sucked into the polar vortex and ending up somewhere in Saskatchewan (yeah, I know, the cold is moving down, not up) |
