    Angry Michigan Weather

    Hooked up my little brown jug to battery tender last night, predicted 34 degrees low and rain.
    Well woke up from puppy nap, today, Two Inches of that white stuff on ground and still coming down . So much for for the rain forecast.
    I hear the north east is going to get it.
    Predicted 60's this coming weekend, please.

    Thanks for the warning...
    Here's to hoping that we've got at least one more "Indian Summer" coming!

    We are expecting temps in the 70's over the weekend. I added seafoam to my fuel last weekend when I filled up expecting to be done riding. Now I will need more seafoam as there is more riding to do this weekend.
    Love my Spyders

    That is why I no longer live in Michigan. Riding weather is just getting good here in Las Vegas.

    Snow just north of me is too danged depressing to even think about. Here in southern MI, our high was 44 today and it's been drizzling since noon. We'll get a spattering of warm enough days to ride again, though. Just have to keep adding layers and keep those heated grips turned on. But, DANG, the older I get, the more I despise winter. Chopping ice off the horses' water trough twice a day, digging snow out from under the barn doors and pasture gates, shoveling snow to give the hens a patch of ground they'll be willing to venture out on, scraping snow/ice off my truck and hoping she'll start, etc. Dang, I hate winter.

    Gotta have the bad weather days to appreciate the good. I ride year round in Michigan.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    True, but I don't need 165 consecutive bad weather days to appreciate the other 200. Two or three bad weather days a month is all I'd need to stay extremely appreciative of the good ones!

    This morning @ 4:30,( I was going to work) there was about 3 inches of the heavy wet snow on my porch. Trees were bent over the road, in some places people lost power. I had to brush off my car. The snow did not last long. Deanna
