Hi all, it's OCTOBER already! The fat guy in the red suit'll be climbing down your chimney sooner'n you think!
I hope the weather in your part of the World is treating you well. Here on the other side of the World in South Oz, we've been subjected to an endless string of Low Pressure Systems rolling across the State bringing strong winds, cold temps, and wet conditions with them, and only the odd fine but cold day in between each front. Not the nicest Spring of weather to encourage ryding, but at least it's not cold enough to stop me ryding in the rain! Hail tho, especially as big'n heavy as it was yesterday, that'll stop me!
C'mon Summer, get all your stuff together & bring on some sunny days!
Starting off with fog and 70's. Supposed to remain in the 70's for the next five days. We will ride most of the days. Will let you know if and when the fall color kicks in. The current map says "patchy." Very true. No spectacular stuff yet.

We finally have some heat relief, with temps in the 80s rather than 100+ as it's been all summer.
The problem right now is smoke from the wildfires, it has gotten crazy some days. Dark yellow skies and a coat of ash on the car every morning. That is starting to decrease too, but no indications of rain yet. In other words, typical Central Valley California weather.
The color looks wrong in this picture, but it's accurate. The photo is from Sept. 24.

We will be getting some rain on Sat. with breaks of sun shine in the southern part of Vermont. In the northern part of VT. it will be cloudy on Sat. and Sunday, with showers on Sunday.
The heaviest rain will be near the Canadian border. Temps in the 50's, southern areas in the 60's.
Starting next week the temps in the 60's during the day.
Off topic: the trees are showing there colors. Fall foliage will be moderate to near peak across the higher elevations to the northern and eastern Vermont this weekend. The brightest fall foliage is still 1 week away in most areas. When I was out and bout today I saw several tour buses on the roads. Also saw a lot of outer state cars on the roads).
Back on topic: The night time temps in the 40's.
Everyone be safe,and stay healthy out there!

Our ride: Canyon Lake to Nemo via Norris pk rd then Vanocker Canyon, Crook City rd, and Spearfish Canyon. Colors were not as good as years past due to the drought this year and are already past peak but temps around 80 made it a great ride.

HELLO, October! I got home Monday from 4 days in the White Mountains of Eastern Arizona. There were heavy thunder storms just before our ride and thunder storms all day yesterday. Seven HD trikes and me. We did just under 800 miles in 3 days of touring. Elevations from 2,100 feet up to 9,300. Temperatures from the mid 40s to mid 80s. Many stops to layer-up, layer-down, layer-up, layer-down. Our 3 riding days all had perfect sunny and windless weather sandwiched between the nasty stuff. First riding of the season for me and it was fantastic.
Today, after yesterday's thunder storms, it is a perfect, blue sky, windless, day in the desert S.W. Highs will be about 92. But we have a really big cooling trend coming. By mid-next week we will have highs only in the 70s. Today I rolled the trike out onto the sunny driveway and spent a couple hours cleaning and chatting with neighbors. It's the second best way to spend time with Fat Old Grey. F.O.G. is now ready for the next great adventure. Stay safe..... Jim

Welcome to my Friday and 63°F. The last 2 days we received over 2.5" of rain. Lots of water areas in the yard. Most of the rain will be gone by noontime.
Poor Indiana Farmers are going to have to wait 3 or 4 days to get back in their fields for harvest.
I will need to wait until Monday to cut the grass. ......
High today 75°F with clouds, low of 58°F.
Have a Blessed Day Everyone . .....

Got up early to make sure everything was good to go. Yesterday was a tuff day for me, a little health issue. They say this is normal for the treatment. Always a work in progress, I guess.
Morning temperature was 66°F, and a little fog.
High today 82°F with sun, low of 59°F and some rain this evening.

Morning temps low 60's. Currently partly cloudy, but the sun is also shining.
A bit breezy today. That fall "edge" is here now. Colors about 15% still. Most green except for the low lying areas near water.
We dodged a bullet last night. A line of severe t-storms with tornadoes passed by on our western side. OK had at least four tornadoes near the Joplin area.

Mid 80s today in the desert S.W. No clouds. Cooling down to the 70s on Tuesday and Wednesday. In advance of the "cold" front we are having a windy afternoon with winds reaching 30-40 mph and possibly some blowing dust. After Wednesday we will start warming up and will get back to the low 90s by the weekend. Stay safe..... Jim

First freeze of the year, along with Winter Storm Warnings just west of here. Supposed to get 3 plus inches of rain out of the storm, which we need. Don’t think I’ll be on the Spyder until this weekend.

The seasons are well into their chage here in central Utah. The leaves in full bloom with beautiful rich colors. There is definately gold in them thar hills with all the Aspens showing off. Last week was nice but by Friday storm clouds, rain and snow at the higher elevations above 8,000 feet had come in. Last night and today a real fall storm with rain,cold, cold winds and snow even down into the valleys. For many it is time to find the cover,garage parking space, battery maintainer, and check on winter accomodations down South. Colors are fading fast and after this storm the leaves will be falling fast. Bundle up kiddies this winter could be a rough one.
Happy TRAils/NSD

I go to my doctor today for my monthly health check up. I need prayers for some 'good news '.
Indiana weather has been somewhat crazy here. Several cooler days and then a warmer day. I guess that is what they call Indian Summer.
Currently 69°F with clouds.
High of 79°F with some sun, low of 61°F with rain in the evening.
Enjoy your Weather. ....
