    Sept 12 2018, Snow today, yes the S word, and more tonight. Perhaps my riding season is over and just got it back from the shop. OMG

    Yup! It is coming. Anytime after Oct 1st or so and we are also fair game. Never forget my first year here--2001--October 12, we got three feet and it stayed until May.

    I am hoping others, will be the recipients of any earlier stuff.

    However, if you’ve lived there for more than a few years, you know that you are more likely to have another stretch of cool, but sunny wearher before it comes to stay.

    Default RAIN!

    It's 78F as I write at 2.15am, but we are flooded in and cannot ryde. 11 inches of rain since Monday afternoon, and there's almost 6 inches standing in my driveway, still. It isn't going anywhere; no place for it to go in this pancake-flat country. I live in a mobile-home park (22 acres) and as I walk around it's almost up to my knees in some places.
    FUN!

    BUT: I do count my blessings that I don't live on the central east coast right now!

    Right in that (level) driveway behind the car, and ahead of the golf cart. The water is down to just over 4 inches now, after having been just under 6 inches. They're under a 14x60 carport roof over the whole driveway, attached to the side of the 16x60 mobile home. There's also an 8x10 garden shed under there at the back end, leaving about a 20ft patio area between it and the car.

    Right now, we have to enjoy the patio with our frog-flippers and scuba gear!

    What!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We wont get the snow( White Gold) until Nov. here in Vermont. That is way to early. I am still riding my spyder here.


    We are still in a drought here in Vermont. Also we have not had the Fall Foliage season yet which we usually in Oct. About mid Oct. is fall foliage peak season. Then anytime after that we will get the (White Gold) and Snow mobile trails don't open up until Dec 15th.
