[Little Blue]

Not happy with this January weather Forecast. Raining and then turning to freezing rain. Later it will be turning to Snow. Hi 30° Low 19°. What is your weather Forecast. .....

Here in North Florida this past week it has been in the 80's but we have a cold front on the way (low 30's and maybe some freezing weather inland).
Then back to normal temps.

New snow at Mt. Rose/ Ski Tahoe------- superior skiing weather. Bluebird days with freshly groomed slopes. Cold for these old bones though.

Arkansas has been pretty good...so far. Many of the major storms have tracked east or west before heading north. We dodged a bullet a week ago. We did have eight tornadoes that were spawned from the system though. They missed us by 50 miles or more.

Weather has fluctuated from the high 20's to the low 70's. Today is partly cloudy and 50's.

Had a dusting of snow once, light freezing drizzle once so far. All gone by the next day. The grass and fields are already going green.

We are liking what we see...so far.

For the second year in a row, it looks like I won't be able to ride in January. I got a couple rides in December and perhaps the South Dakota weather will cooperate and give me and let me do a ride in February.

I'm still trying to avoid winterizing the Spyder (beyond plugging in a battery maintainer) but history is starting to show it's no riding in January and February and might as well tuck it away in the garage during those months.

Just got 4 inches of wet snow, rain, drizzle now turning colder and windy .

I dunno that the forecasters are having much fun here Down Under..... it's usually fairly easy to predict what our summers are gonna be like - Hot & dry, with a strong chance of fires; and yeah, we've done that..... But now the monsoon season has finally broken out up in the tropics, we've also got a brace of cyclones in the North West driving rain all the way across the country.... mostly not enough to really help with the drought or the fires, but in those areas where they've managed to beat the fires for now, there's nothing to hold the rain or any moisture in the soil, so if it's not currently "hot & dry with fires", then it's "hot & humid with floods!!"

Dorothea Mackellar really got it right when she described Australia in her poem 'My Country":

"I love a sunburnt country,
a land of sweeping plains,
of ragged mountain ranges,
of droughts and flooding rains..."

and I really do love it too..... altho I hafta admit that there are occasionally days when I'd rather we didn't get all of that last line thrown at us at once!

As for our weather forecasters..... they're on a hiding to nothing atm.... whichever way they decide to go, it's gonna be awful for some/somewhere! Some days, you just can't win!

Awh Peter, I am sorry to hear of the troubles down your way. We have had massive fires here in Utah ( Cedar Breaks, Brien Head in 2017 and the Sanpete fires in 2018) both brought massive mud slides as the snows began to melt and the run off started. I wish you all well.
We are in our January thaw here and it would be great riding right now except the roads are white with all the dried salt on them. Not taking the Spyder out in that.

[Little Blue]

Bring your cup and hang on.
High today 14° Low 9°...........

[Grandpot]

In South Carolina, one week it's like Florida, the next week it's like New York. Then the cycle repeats until spring.

[ARtraveler]

We started with low teens this AM. Now, working its way above 20. Looking for 40 so I can get a ride in. There is also a really, really, cold, chill, wind blowing.

Can't complain though, we had a 70 degree day last week. Rode three plus hours that day.

We are riding the roller coaster too.

EDIT: Topped out at 35. I am staying in.

[Little Blue]

Well, this new weekend weather is going to be interesting. Friday all day rain Hi 41° Low 21°. Saturday freezing rain turning to snow Hi 31° Low 16°. Sunday snow Hi 30° Low 15°.
Welcome to Indiana, USA..........

Got to Love it.......

[ARtraveler]

Been off the 's the last four days. Rain, cooler, and temps hovering at that 32 degree mark, just between rain and freezing drizzle. Weather says a warming trend is supposed to happen in a few days...we should be back in the higher 40's. Will get back on the road then.

They are getting snow about 75 miles North of here. Springfield MO and points East and North of there. Close...but not here.

[Little Blue]

Well....the weather personnel have said that 'This January we had 21 days of higher Temperatures'. So look out for the February Forecast.
Only got one Ryde day for January. There was to much Snow and Salt......

Not really nice ryding weather here in Australia!! It's been 38°C where I am for now in Victoria, but back home in South Aust it's been even worse!! 46° C yesterday, 48° C today, with more of the same to come only with higher humidity & very likely dry lightning & thunder storms! That South Aust weather usually only takes a day or so to make its way this far East, so we'll get it soon enough! Still, I am a bit closer to the coast here in Vic, so it's probably not going to get quite that hot - only expecting 42°C here tomorrow, but it'll come with the high to very high humidity & they're forecasting 'a very oppressive night' tomorrow! And any lightning storms really won't be good news for the firey's who are still out there fighting fires!!

So any cold weather &/or rain that you can spare from over there, I know a few places here that would really appreciate it if you could send it this way, even if it's juuust a little bit!!

[ARtraveler]

We are supposed to have 70 degrees and sunshine on Sunday 2/2. and fingers crossed.

[CopperSpyder]

Well 63 today in my part of Florida. Going to New Smyrna Beach for lunch in the car because the Spyder is back at the house in PA. oh well I'll just have to make the best of it while we are here.

Today here in Vermont, last night the temp was 10 degrees and the today it is sunny/ chilly, we have an arctic high pressure over the northeast that is giving us sunshine. But tonight will be another cold night. Friday will be sunny, but clouds move in late in the day, as warmer air starts to move in. There is a slight chance to of rain/snow showers.

The weekend temps in the 30s. The coastal storm they are keeping an eye on is staying south/east and totally miss us. Next week the weather will be in the 30's & 40's.

The weather here in Vermont has been cold, warm,( 40's to 50's) cold.

In the high 60s to low 70s here in the Valley of The Sun. Still too cool to go without a jacket. It should warm up a bit in February. ..... Jim

[Gwolf]

Went riding today, but who cares about the January weather? There is only one more day of it.

[grumpyoldretiredcop]

Sunny and mid-50's here in NV... and I have the $%&%& flu. Grrr!
