| So, sometime yesterday afternoon, the rain suddenly got all white and fluffy... |

| It must have thought I missed New Hamster, because it kept coming down, in fits and starts, all through the evening and into the night... |

As I was leaving the office yesterday I met a Subie that looked just like yours. No hippieflage stickers on the back though.
ReplyDeleteSame storm kicked up some high winds here yesterday. But for the height of the embankment to the right of the road my truck would have been smashed by an 8-10 inch diameter falling tree on the way home.
Up here by Lake Erie, Breda calls your Weather "Thursday." Just sayin'...
ReplyDeleteDown here, a few inches of wet snow would've been greeted with cheers, it's been so dry. Recent rain/snow notwithstanding.
ReplyDeleteSo of course it hit you.
Dayton got about 4"...clinging to everything. It's beautiful...
ReplyDeleteIts about 45 deg now, with a high of 70the and clear skies down in Houston right now. Come summer though I'd switch places with ya
ReplyDeleteBubblehead Les,
ReplyDeleteOkay, and...? (FWIW, in Anchorage they call it "the first fifteen minutes after noon on Tuesday" and in Murmansk they call it "August", none of which triviata gets the snow off my sidewalk. ;) )
Anon,
ReplyDeleteBy this time of year I'm acclimated enough that anything much above 30 sounds pretty balmy. ;)
We're supposed to have 33 degrees and partly cloudy this afternoon and hit the mid-'50s on Saturday, which will be making me wish I'd got the Zed Drei fixed, because that'll be convertible weather...
Just starting here... so it's ZOMG panic and shut down the government...
ReplyDeleteWith all these drastic, painful, across-the-board sequestration spending cuts, we can no longer afford decent global warming! It's a travesty!
ReplyDeleteShow of hands: Who's local TeeVee stations are providing wall-to-wall coverage of "Death-Blizzard 2013" or "OUR weather radar is better than THEIR weather radar"?
ReplyDeleteLast Saturday I checked the air in the tires of the 'Wing, put on the license tabs, charged up the battery, fired it up, and then thought, "Heck, it's over 30 and the streets are pretty dry. I'll just take it out for a quick spin around to make sure everything still works."
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that the 10" of white, sticky global warming that hit us yesterday here in Minnesnowta is completely my fault. Sorry about that.
If I'd drained the gas from the snowblower and put it away, I think we'd have entered the next ice age.
I dream of having a good snow like that... of course, I live in Orlando Florida so it just isn't going to happen, but if it did it would be one incredibly entertaining event.
ReplyDeleteI lived up in Jacksonville (FL) in the late 90's the year they had the ice storm up there and let me tell you, Floridians LOSE THEIR DAMN MINDS when water falls from the sky in anything but it's most liquid form.

Blackwing, I am up in St Cloud. I fired up the Retro but didn't ride Saturday. I have ridden in bad enough conditions every one asks me if I rode the bike when I come to visit. I may be crazy but I am not stupid.

Speaking of your Subie and hippieflage, I have a picture of inspiration for you.
ReplyDeleteOutback with a Sig Sauer sticker and a reminder of how much the Occupier-In-Chief has escalated our already ridiculous debt.
Where do you want the pic sent?
As much as I am annoyed by the libtards here in Puget Soundistan, I love the weather. Most years we get a week of snow, one day at a time separated by weeks. And there are no ordinances requiring it's removal should that much fall. We just live with it for the three days it lasts.

I'm not removing it because of any ordinances; I'm removing it because it's sloppy and rude to leave one's walkways covered with treacherous slippery shit. :)
