:gaah:....I got up early and had ice and a little snow on the Truck Windshield. Needed to pry open the door to get inside.
Not a good thing, but I had to go and do some errands.
Before all the crazy people are out there and making accidents. Some people never learn.

Currently 15°F with clear skies. The roads are safe to drive but you will need to be careful.
High 31°F with sunshine, low of 12°F.

Remember to keep your fuel tank full.
Because you never know what can happen down the road.

Enjoy your Day. .....:thumbup:

Well Nebraska weather again. Yesterday and today in the high 50s along with Saturday. Sunday in the 60s! After Sunday at the bottom drops out. Oh well at least we don’t have 5 feet of snow:yes:

:gaah:....I got up early and had ice and a little snow on the Truck Windshield. Needed to pry open the door to get inside.

After decades of scraping ice off of windshields a few months ago I had an idea! As many of you probably know, turning on the wipers and giving the windshield a squirt of washer fluid doesn't do a good job of clearing the ice, even if the fluid is the -20°F variety. The wipers push the fluid off before it has a chance to do much. So, I decided to put windshield deicer in a squirt bottle. Now I squirt deicer all over the windshield and let it set until it has melted the ice. Then I turn on the wipers and clear off the glass. Sure works a lot better than the old way!

They are forecasting next week temps in the 20's to 30's and 40's here in Vt. (off topic, there goes the snowmobile riding)!

I am using the Rain-X WS Fluid. I will try the spray bottle Tip.
Thank You .......:thumbup:

Perfect "winter" weather here in the desert S.W. It will be 78 both today and tomorrow. Bright blue sky and no clouds. Later next week we will cool down and have a chance of sprinkles. Meanwhile, today is a day to lounge around and in the pool. Tomorrow we have a planned group ride. Not sure where we're going but we usually cover a couple hundred miles with a good meal on the agenda. Stay safe..... Jim

The big storm passed us by, except for a little rain. The next three days will be in the sixties. :yes:

 

[RapidSpyder]

We were going to go for a ride since it was near 60 here, but opted to trade 3 wheels for the quad and play in the snow and mud in the hills instead.

Sunday and Warm

Just an amazing day yesterday. 58°F with lots of sunshine and a blue sky. I had hoped to get out there and enjoy some ryde time.
The wife and family had made other plans. So I enjoyed the family. Life is short but still good.

I will enjoy some 'wind therapy' today. ....:yes:

Another possible storm at the end of the week, every time we finish shoveling out the camp (and roof) we get another one.

I don't post on this thread much - but in my area of Vt. this has been the worst winter in memory, at as far as Skiing & Snow-mobiling goes .... Very little actual snow ( I've used the snow-blower 5 times ) and what decent snowfalls were then eaten by warm weather and rain. We recently had two big dumps less than a week apart .... and most of the farm fields are almost Bare now :gaah::gaah: .... My Ski area had some decent skiing ( because they made snow ) but the recent temp swings have caused the snow to become HARD Ice ..... even the large groomers can't do much with it ..... Thurs night into Fri. we are supposed to 8 to 12in. so I'm ray:ray:ray: things will get better ..... Mike :thumbup:
