• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Sleet pelting the house

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:
 
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:
 
Had to switch to a yard stick to measure

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

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.
 
Painting

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"
 
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:
 
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:
 
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 .
 
NICE HERE!

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!
 
Weather in Vermont

They are forecasting "high wind warnings" from early this morning to 11:00 pm this evening. Also they are forecasting "Winter weather advisory" thru tonight.

Winter has not left Vermont yet! :gaah::gaah:

Snow???

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*****************

IMG_20180416_083306.jpgIMG_20180416_083047.jpgJust 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:
