RapidSpyder, is that a different Rapid City? This was in my wx history "Posted: Apr 13, 2018 7:40 AM CDT Courtesy: SD DOT - Rapid City, SD South Dakota officials closed Interstate 90 from Murdo to Mitchell at 2:30 p.m. I-90 is now closed from Rapid City to Mitchell, both east and westbound."

Or has it already re-opened as of Apr 14th, It's still wicked here in Southern MN.

Just finished blow'in 12" of snow from the driveway here and we are supposed to get another 10" by tomorrow. Winter SUCKS! Mac:banghead:

[Deanna777]

I’m out getting the homestead ready for tonight’s ice storm that they are calling for.:yikes:Winter has not left here either, we had sleet hitting the windows also. The temps are in the 30's it is the middle of April. No riding for me today. I have 7 more days to wait.

My spyder is still in hibernation due the weather.

I know that stretch of road well. We used to stay at the Super 8 in Murdo, visit the auto museum, and make a day trip to the badlands. It took just minutes to get there from Murdo--because of the time zone change. :roflblack::roflblack:

[grieppc]

the minivan is blending into the driveway had a hot drink and put on some Christmas music

[MNBK]

15 miles north of Mpls/St Paul and we have probably got close to a foot so far. Good day to stay in sweats . Leo's is having their open house today. They may sell more snowmobiles than bikes.

Ya gotta love spring in Minnesota this year. :banghead:

40 south of Minneapolis, and we got this

my nephew is proposing today my 26 year old must be second guessing driving 100 miles to be a witness and join the party I think we talked him out of it. great day for snowshoeing. But I am enjoying Sturgis pics here on the forum been there twice and the pics I'm seeing tell me I have a great deal more investigating to do still looking to buy an enclosed camping trailer for our next trip

[DGoebel]

I remember seeing a really nice camping trailer in the 4 Sale and WTB section (http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?112111-2014-Roll-A-Home-King-Camper)

only got about 8 inches here and half of that is gone already. think we were the west end of the storm. Spearfish only got about three inches. sunny day today, was really nice up in Deadwood.

[Mazo EMS2]

Same crap here. Pounded the house loud enough to wake us up last night. Rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain....we're gettin' it all this weekend. Weather guessers are saying 3-6" of snow for tomorrow....Not a 50* day in sight til at least next weekend. Somebody pissed in Mother Nature's Wheaties, and she's gettin' even.:gaah:

[spyderider1]

Looks like Wisconsin is Ground Zero for this blizzard. Hardly any snow all winter and now this. Pretty much "snowed in" both Saturday and Sunday. Most churches have cancelled services and most retail is closed.
Monday morning should be interesting when we all go back to work.

Here's the irony, on Friday I fired up the Spyder from her Winter Hibernation anticipating a ride in the next few days. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

[RapidSpyder]

Well... at least you’ll have it ready for when the snow does melt...

[Bob Denman]

Mother Nature is a nasty witch, with a wicked sense of humor! :gaah:

Yesterday: it got up to 68 degrees here. I took off for a 40 mile ride, once the yard work was done! :yes:
Today: it's looking ugly; the rest of the week looks no better! :shocked:

[Mad Mac]

Sitting here in my recliner with the wife in hers, drinking coffee, staring out the window, looking at 16" more snow:banghead:! Got to wait until the wind quits howling so I can plan my strategy on how I'm going to crawl thru the snow drift on our porch to get to the shop to get the blower out AGAIN! WINTER REALLY SUCKS IN APRIL!! Mac:yikes:

[DGoebel]

Day two of what would normally be a great riding weekend here in MN, and they're predicting another 5 inches.....

Oh man.

Born and raised in buffalo. Ny. spent 10 yrs in Alaska. I may not like living in bakersfield ca. I do miss snow, but I don't miss when winter just doesn't go away

[F650624]

After 30 years in Alaska, and then 11 in South Dakota there is a reason we moved to North Texas. And I did not bring my snow shovel and snow blower.

[grieppc]

running out of wood to cut spent about 3 hours blowing out the driveway about one foot of snow. So I guess I'm moving on to the honeydolist painting the basement. Perhaps the sun will come out and I can ryde to work on Tuesday. A lot of stuff cancelled or closed today. Can you say "cabin fever"

[prisondude]

Weather just been crazy everywhere. Rain mostly where i live.

[Mazo EMS2]

We ended up with an inch of sleet that froze solid, then we got a couple inches of snow on top of it. Not that big of deal at all compared to our neighboring states, some with a foot of snow or more. I see there is a day of 50* next wknd.....Not holding my breath:mad:

[Deanna777]

Last night we got sleet, freezing rain, and snow, the ground is covered. Snow plows were on the roads today, spreading salt, & plowing. Winter in the north East has not left yet, the rest of this week, they are forecasting snow, rain, showers.

Will winter ever end here in the North East!


The sled season is over.

Sounds like all you guys need a counter-post to cheer you up. So here goes...
High today 90 degrees F. Clear skies, 7-9 mph breeze. Got to take a 20-minute ride in a 1929 Ford for only $75! Bee-yoo-ti-ful day! :yes:

And of course I ryded 56 myles round trip to get there. 75 myles or so yesterday. I don't remember how many the day before that. :dontknow: :joke:

[RapidSpyder]

Sure, rub it in... :lecturef_smilie:

[stmike 1800]

I live in northern Ontario Canada ,and we are getting the same ***** . Freezing rain ,hope it turns to snow ,then at lest i can ride the sled .

[Freewheeler]

Roads are nice and dry here flanked by "snow".......but riding conditions are all good to very good......winter took a long time to slowly get into the disappearing act.......we're just north of Edmonton, Alberta and both my wife and I have spyders (her's is a 2015 Ltd and mine a 2013 Ltd).....when you get onto the road, be it today or in two weeks, always ride safe .... eh!

It's mid April and we are getting snowed on AGAIN. This is a bit late for the high desert on Nevada. It seems that what we get on Monday, the mid west gets on Wed.

This late snow happened because I drained the fuel from both snow blowers and changed the oil for summer storage:roflblack::roflblack:. And , of course, more snow is predicted in a couple of days. I hear the avalanche blasting to keep the road clear above us ------ So when will this winter end?????????

The Sierra Nevada mountain range had record snow last year. Over 700" measured at the ski resort just 11 miles from my house. This season is an " average" season BUT it's still going on.

How about some Christmas carols>>>>>>>>>>> Is this the " climate change" they are talking about????

******************* Let the flaming begin, but you've got the shovel the April snow off my driveway first*****************

159999160000Just got done again with clearing the driveway, porch, roofs, etc., etc.. Record breaking snowfall since 1888! We had 28" of accumulation this A.M. I'm really SICK of this white stuff!! At least I won't have to worry about yard work until the end of June, since the snow drifts are 3 feet high!!:banghead: Mac:doorag:

[Myron Ah]

Same going on here in Maine.:banghead: Cleaned the ryde and took it up thru the village and back, about 3 miles round trip. will not be out till next week now.:gaah:

[Deanna777]

Same thing happening here in Vermont, this past week-end we had snow, sleet, freezing rain, and now they are forecasting high winds( in the southern part of Vermont). Spyder is still in hibernation maybe next week-end I'll wake up the spyder.


When will winter end! :banghead: Also the sleds have put up for the season.

[missouriboy]

Sure, rub it in... :lecturef_smilie:What? Is nobody curious about why anyone would pay $75 for a short ride in an old Ford? :dontknow:
