10 am it's 24 with wind chill 13. No snow but sleet and freezing rain early this morning in northwest Florida. Starting to thaw from the sun but still horrible outside. I don't think I'll be riding today

Hey it's winter. After nearly a week of higher than normal temps/sunshine, we're due for another series of winter storms starting tonight, yes white will happen. Guess where these storms will go when they are done with us??
Use to get a January thaw in the last portion of January first of February. Now it happen when ever. We do like it, but it makes the rest of winter a little harder.

Probably not those milk sandwiches are awesome  You guys are cracking me up.... -22F this morning, and it warmed up a bit since the -40F last week. Embrace the winter, get a snowmobile!!!!!! And you can keep those temps......and what would we do with a snowmobile? Snows and gone within 24 hrs and that is too long...  |

I could never live in the "no mans land" of shitty non-winter winters...Either give me REAL winter that I can deal with (ice fishing, trapping and snowmobiling) or give me summer. The damp "cold" rainy/snow/sleety weather is the worst!!! |

Here in NE Indiana we had a light dusting of snow on Christmas and the same since. Probably only a half loaf of bread and 1 quart of milk.  Actually, less snow and colder temps mean more salt. Our city of 17,000 has used 460 tons of salt this season and that doesn't include the beet juice. (beet juice lowers the salt's melting temp and makes it work better.) |

Done sumpin yesterday I ain't did in a couple years. Cranked up my Brothers 8 HP 27" cut Craftsmen snoblower!  Had ta git 4" or a bit more of that white crapola off the driveway. And then I took the snow shovel and cleaned off the front walk case fedex or ups needed to deliver a package. Course following the weather like I duz ain't mucho better in Missouri now either.  My E-mails have showed lotsa weather alerts from my home area. Someone else made mention and I've mentioned this and I'll mention it yet again-it are in FACT winter!  Much like high heat in da summer while we may bitch bout it from time to time we duz hafta sorta deal with it and we most generally survive comin out da udder end and git ready to repeat it again!  I'm as guilty as the next guy/gal bitchin bout da weather! And AGAIN-winter sux!!  RIDE SAFE. |

Forecast for Friday is 55 degrees F in beautiful western Colorado and a couple of hours riding is imminent during the 3 to 5 PM window of warmth in the valley. But, the no winter, no water alert has been sounded ; sorrily we shall pay up come summertime. La Nina.  |

According to my grandson, the south is closed after a heavy frost. He moved down there a year ago from up here and said you ought to see these people with a little snow. Demolition derby time and everything is closed. |

Some interesting comments from our Northern peanut gallery. Some of us have been in their locations when they get the first snow of the year or a wet loose snow like we get. Guess what they do not handle it any better than we do, despite what they claim. |

I've got a new motorcycle waiting on a break in the weather and some rain to wash the salt off the roads so I can ride her home from Northern Indiana. Needless to say, I'm a little impatient also this year. Might I ask that everyone "please burn more fossil fuels". |

Whenever there is a forecast for "SNOW" or other "WINTER PRECIPITATION" - you can count on the grocery stores being cleeared out of "French Toast" (bread, milk and eggs). This time was no different - we got 5 inches snow at my place, and I've only been outside to check how much snow and to clear the snow off the cars since Tuesday night. It was also 14 F this morning for the low... supposed to get above freezing, then back down to 22F tonight. Sunday is supposed to get to 60 - maybe I'll get the Valk out if the roads are good.

I've been so frustrated with it, that I took her out yesterday just because it was sunny. Didn't realize it was 15 degrees until I got off and checked the weather.
