Tomorrow looks a lot cooler - expected max of 15°C.... but the Heavy Rain is forecast to continue into early next week! :banghead: Maybe I'll just park the Spyder outside and let it have its annual wash?!

Stay Safe everyone, and Season's Greetings to you all! hyea:

Well, the Spyder's had its annual wash (in the rain! ) & is back in the shed! :thumbup: And while half of the rest of the Country (& State for that matter! :shocked: ) is sweltering if not actually burning, there ain't no riding happening around here today, cos as someone famous (in Oz, anyway ) once wrote "Ma, the rains 'as really come!" or words to that effect! We've been told to expect a whole month's worth of rain today, and it's already looking like we might get even more than that... :shocked: Good thing we're close to the top of a hill, in the Hills, and well above pretty much anything but a flood of biblical proportions!

And yet other parts of the State & Country are still sweltering in 45+ °C temps, with many places already under 'Catastrophic Fire Warning - Too late to Leave - Shelter in Place' alerts or already burning! No wonder the Six White Boomers are looking for asbestos socks & jackets! :yikes:

:yes:...I enjoyed my first December Ryde Time. The temperature (53°F) was good but the 'wind chill' was much worse than I wanted it to be.
I just wanted to see if it was doable for me.

I am a member of the 'Ole Man Club' and only Ryde when the temperature gets above 50°F.
:shemademe_smilie:....The wife said she would just stay home.

Stay in the Game. ....:thumbup:

Monday 12/11/23

...Welcome back from the Weekend currently we have 29°F with some clouds. I guess everyone was busy with the holiday season rush. Hopefully you can slow down a little bit and just enjoy the Time. My NFL team lost their game. I really wanted Them to win. Oh well, I guess we have next year.

Today we have some clouds and no rain in the forecast.
High of 37°F.
Low of 28°F.

Have a Blessed Day and Stay Safe. ....:thumbup:

Tuesday 12, 2023

:chat:....I woke up and there was frost on the truck windshield. Now that the sun is shining the windshield is frost free.
Currently 40°F and mostly clear sky. I have the last of the leaves to make gone.
:shemademe_smilie:.... That's what my wife said must happen today.

High today of 46°F with lots of Sunshine.
Low at 24°F. ....Yes that is a big drop but we are getting closer to the first day of Winter.
The 21st of December is that day.

Stay Warm and Safe. ....:thumbup:

 

[ARtraveler]

Sunshine and blue skies continue. Currently 50 degrees. The temp has a cool "edge" to it. The good part, there is still no snow. :bowdown: I took the Kawi Mule out for a chilly ride yesterday. It was nice seeing the back roads again.

 

[canamjhb]

Here in the desert the weather gurus say it's mostly sunny! I disagree. The sky is almost completely grey with a few bright spots. The sun is filtering through enough to produce shadows, so I guess that's the mostly sunny part. There is little to no wind and the humidity is at 11 %. The high today is predicted to be 72. Just as I type this, it's getting brighter outside with a few blue patches. No rain in the forecast. Stay safe..... Jim

Wednesday 12/13/23

..New Day and more adventures, currently clear sky at 30°F.
Yesterday I was able to get all my outdoor projects finished for this year. Yes, I still have more 'honey do's' that list will never end. I love my wife dearly and she is a real gem.

Today it's going to be sunny and clear. High of 43°F
Low of 23° and still no snow.

Staying in the Game for now.....:thumbup:

 

[Deanna777]

Here in Vt. we had a stalled-out front kept persistent snow showers around throughout today (Wednesday). The front will finally be on the move southward as we go through the evening and overnight hours, so the snow showers will come to an end and the skies will be clearing. It will be cold, though, in spots by Thursday morning, especially up toward the Northeast Kingdom (near the Canadian Border) and Northern New Hampshire.

Sunshine will abound on Thursday, but the temps will start on the chilly side. That will change as we get into the day on Friday. Most places will warm up into the low-to-mid 40's °F under a mix of sun & clouds.

There will be more clouds than sunshine over the weekend, but it will stay dry with temps staying above normal.

Then............... all eyes will be on yet another Monday storm system. This latest potentially strong storm system looks like it will bring primarily rain & wind on Monday; but ending up with some snow Monday night into Tuesday. It will be blustery on Tuesday as the storm departs.

It is still much too soon to narrow down any specifics on that storm system.

Thursday 12/14/23

:spyder:...Well first off, I hope you snow sledders get all the snow you need. That way I can just enjoy my holidays snow free. Isn't that the way it should go. .... :roflblack: .... :roflblack:

Currently cloudy sky and 24°F. Cold outside but toasty warm inside. Yesterday was a beautiful sunshiny day for me. Just too cold to Ryde.

Today we are scheduled for a warmer day at 50°F for the high.
Low of 27°F. Just a roller coaster Ryde with the temperatures.

Stay Healthy and Be Safe. .... :thumbup:

:shemademe_smilie: .... Get out there and finish the Christmas Shopping. Ten Shopping Days to go.

Happy Holidays to all. ..... hyea: .... hyea:

Friday 12/15/23

Finally Friday and currently I have an overcast sky with 29°F. Nice day yesterday with sunshine and lots of blue sky.
The wind was a little chilly at times. No Ryde time for me, maybe get a little chance today.
So far we haven't seen any of the seasonal snow, but I know it's coming.
December 21st is the first day of Winter here in Indiana.

Today is going to be about the same as yesterday.
High today of 53°F with sunshine and some wind.
Low of 36°F and no rain for now.

Stay Safe and be Healthy. ....:thumbup:

 

[ARtraveler]

We are still enjoying 55 to 60 degree days. Mostly sunny skies. Today, a bit of overcast and rain predicted. There is definitely a nip in the air. :thumbup:

 

[canamjhb]

Currently it's 71 here in the desert. The high today is forecast to be 75 but we usually exceed expectations. She skies are blue, the breeze is very light and the humidity is currently 21%. The overnight low will be 50 degrees. Looks like we'll have high 70s temperatures for the weekend. The weather we're having now is the reason so many from colder areas come to the desert in the winter. Lots of outdoor activities to be enjoyed. I expect my usual Friday car show will be very well attended today. Leaving for it in about an hour in the little Mustang, top down, of course! Stay safe..... Jim

 

[Deanna777]

Currently it is 40 degrees here in Vermont. After a almost SPRING like day today, temps will be coming down a notch to start the weekend on Saturday, which will start out with a lot of clouds, but then turn partly sunny as we get into the afternoon.

Sunday will start out dry but cloudy. Then.................... Get ready! Here we go again. Another strong storm system will be moving in during Sunday afternoon with rain showers. The rain will turn heavier & steadier as we go through the overnight hours. Also, winds will be picking up out of the SSE.

The storm will be just right on top of us here in the Northeast on Monday morning. Unlike the last several Sunday/Monday storms which had a lot of heavy wet snow, this storm will be mainly rainstorm. The Monday morning commute will be challenging and slow, but from heavy downpours and windy conditions rather than snowy roads.


There could be some minor flooding by the end of the day on Monday as this storm system could drop anywhere from 1" to 2" of rain or more. Also, the temps jumping into the 50's for highs on Monday, Snow melt form the mountains could add to any minor flooding woes.

Temps will take a sharp drop on Monday nigh as the storm starts to move out. That will freeze up some untreated roads and walkways by Tuesday morning and leave some slick spots. Also, any lingering rain showers will change to a few snow showers, but they won't amount to much.

After that, there will be a nice stretch of weather for the rest of the week with a good deal of sunshine and temps near normal for this time of the year.

Merry Christmas to All!

Stay safe, and healthy!

I don't care what the weather reports say it is, and I don't care if it is in the wrong month...........

I been through enough tropical storms to know one when I see one. What we got going on in the south-east is a tropical storm.

It came out of the Gulf of Mexico, it is swirling around, it is 500 miles wide, and it is full of rain and wind.

They can say it ain't, they can call it a no name storm if they want to, it is a tropical storm.

Anybody says it ain't, don't know much about tropical storms. I am not a weather man, but I have lived in the tropics and sub-tropics all my life.

Tend to agree, certainly not a typical few rainy days.

But, in a few minutes it will be past SoFlo on its way to the folks up North. With a tad of luck, it should be a nice mid 70s day, with sunshine. Headed out for a bunch of miles pedaling in the woods on my Moots off road bicycle. Maybe tonight can be a local Christmas lights night ride on the RTS.

 

[RapidSpyder]

52 and sunny yesterday. Didn’t ryde but went out and shot some pasture poodles.
