Title: Re: Snow Post by babyhog on 11/23/10 at 06:27:47 I actually got to ride yesterday!! We've had plenty of days that were warm enough, I've just needed my Jeep most days, or haven't had time to ride. Yesterday was about 70° and I knew I had to take it out, although it was only for about an hour. But worth it! Today is nasty rainy, we might see some snow Thursday or Friday, I think, but the weekend will be warm again. Crazy weather, no wonder I can't seem to feel 100% healthy. |

Title: Re: Snow Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/23/10 at 08:31:04 I spent time outside yesterday, dressed ( if you can call it that) in only a pair of shorts & some shoes. It was comfy |

Title: Re: Snow Post by kimchris1 on 11/23/10 at 13:33:11 Mick, John, sluggo, while I am here in Ca tending to Mom. I have been keeping up to date on the weather back home in Wa. Hubby says we have several inches and it is very cold. Tonight's lows may even hit single digits. I will enjoy the sunshine here and think of you guys in the snow. Hopefully the storms will be over with and I will catch a break in between them when I travel over the moutain passes next week.. Phelonius you enjoy the islands and we all know you miss the snow.. Hugs.. Kim :) |

Title: Re: Snow Post by Max_Morley on 11/23/10 at 17:22:57 Got a call from Shari's sister today and our WA house sitter wondered when the plow was coming by. Eastern WA has blowing snow and drifts, house sitter said he couldn't get out as he didn't know where the road is. He is from Spokane (which generally has worse weather than Moses Lake) and has a new jeep 4 by and the road is laid out E/W and pretty obvious due to the line of trees. O well. Farmer B-i-L will be by with the tractor and box scraper before too long. Today was a closed school and CC day according to the e-mails. 65 deg in Phoenix here today and cloudy and the locals are complaining. We used the truck to go to the oncologist in case she changed the meds formula and I would have been unable to drive the sidecar, but same meds only tomorrow due to no on the shelf, so I'll drive the sidecar then. Have run 3 tanks of gas through the sidecar already and 2 through the bagger. Max |

I actually got the bike out early this morning. Haven't rode in a couple weeks, and it was getting to me! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] So I fired it up and headed to town to drop a DVD in the return box. I'm sure I got some strange looks from the other 3 people on the road, considering it was 3am and 17°! :o At least the roads were dry, or I wouldn't have tried it. Found out my newer warmer gloves are not up to -9° of windchill! ;D |

Title: Re: Snow Post by stinger on 11/24/10 at 11:42:22 Sometimes when I ride for any distance in cold weather, I fill one of those rubber hot water bottles with hot water and stick it down the front of my jacket. Makes a great hand or butt warmer too when I pull over. Take a packet of hot chocolate or instant coffee and have a nice warm drink on the side of the road. Sounds goofy but it works great. Bought a small one at a dollar store for a buck. |

Title: Re: Snow Post by verslagen1 on 11/24/10 at 12:03:31 Somewhere, I heard that they attach a cup to the exhaust pipe to heat water for tea. If such a bracket were to hit me eye, I'd pick one up. |

Title: Re: Snow Post by kimchris1 on 11/24/10 at 13:23:25 Stinger that is a great idea and one I may use myself. Mick my Mom's neighbor is a Deputy Sheriff and I will have him find out the pass and road conditions for me as he will be able to talk to the DOT first hand, before I venture home next week. If I didn't have a Dr's appt on Dec 3, I would not have to venture back. Then again the bad weather is just starting and could get worse. I will let you all know when I start and finish my adventure thru the mountains.. I did tell my Mom I would find a trucker with an empty trailer, he could put my lil suv up on his trailer and drop me off on the other side.. hahaha,.. Hugs all.. Kim ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Snow Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/26/10 at 08:09:56 I had a friend who worked for Halliburton in Denver. His job was to sell & maintain gas flow measurement equipment. He had to drive thru the mountain passes thru all seasons. Told me he woke up in fear all the time, having seen people die in crashes & from exposure after getting stuck because they slipped off the road. He was happy to get transferred back to Odessa, Tx. It HAD to be bad to be happy to go back to Odessa,, Ugghhh,, ugly is a permanent & accurate descriptor for Odessa. as is nearly fatally boring. |

I remember Odessa TX. When I was moving from California to South Carolina I got pulled over just outside of Odessa. But to be fair I was doing 93mph in a 55mph zone in a 91 Saturn SL2 or SR2 I can never remember if it is supposed to be SL or SR. |

Title: Re: Snow Post by kimchris1 on 12/01/10 at 18:47:37 Happy to report I made it home safe and sound yesterday afternoon. Plenty of snow on the side of the roads coming thru the passes yet none in the lanes. Plenty of State Troopers thru Ca, Or and Wa. Their were 6 Wa. State Troopers my last hr on the road. That made me have to slow down for sure. ;) Travel time from Mom's door to mine was 12 hrs.. Needless to say I was beat. |

Title: Re: Snow Post by babyhog on 12/03/10 at 11:11:18 We've had a few flurries the last couple days and its been cold. 25 at night, 35 or so highs during the day. Tonight is supposed to be our first measurable accumulation, maybe a couple inches. Brrrrr I want my warm sunny riding days back.... |

Title: Re: Snow Post by kimchris1 on 12/03/10 at 21:11:21 Well the weather is getting strange all over. You may be lucky enough some day to get a flake or more. I will send some your way the next time we receive it here. Take care.. :) kim |

Title: Re: Snow Post by PerrydaSavage on 12/04/10 at 03:54:20 Still no snow here in Newfoundland ... we did have some last Monday which caused a few traffic snarls around the city of St. John's for a few hours, but by Tue. morning it was all melted away. This Fall has been slightly warmer than normal for here and until last week was relatively dry too ... but we've had a LOT of rain in past 6 days days or so. Make no mistake, we WILL be socked in with snow for a solid 3 1/2 months at the very least ... won't be long now ... :( |
