Ok this has gone on long enough, haven't been on bike since the end of November and its still snow and cold out, where is the global warming. I want to get my bike out and try the new farkles I have added, new rear tire , new windscreen , new mirrors and custom seat.
Well, they changed the term "global warming" for "climate change". You know, they realized some suckers up north were going to freeze instead of warm up.
BTW, weather is getting nice and cozy here. :biggrinjester:

CBC-TV has been apologizing for the capital punishment y'all are getting, and reminding us how well they did last year.
I think it was a mistake to freeze the salaries of weather forecasters. You cannot blame them for doing the same to you.
Tomorrow I will ride across Florida, for the third time this month; this time I will
join some wicked companions with whom I spent several Ontario winters in the 1950s.
I look forward to visiting Ontario later this spring,
and staying for some of summer. If I visit Ottawa,
the city of my birth, I will try to find you.
The first boat load of coal left Duluth harbor with a ice breaker in front of it . Soo locks open monday , spring must be on the way I just can't see it for all the snow:furious:
Planning for a day of snowmobiling tomorrow to ease the pain. Have two friends coming over in the morning for 120 mile ride through the chicane. Should be fun. Have some farkles sitting here waiting to go on, but no rush, 2 feet snow on the ground. Will post a go-pro video later. :yesnod:
The -8c (17f) temeprature that I woke up to this AM doesn't bother me, but the 5cm (2 inches) of snow I got after midnight really puts a damper on riding. Used a lot of washer fluid driving into work.
Same story here in Norway. Not a sign of spring yet. It is stone cold and ice everywhere. Last year we were relaxing in the sun and drinking beer by now. I guess the North Pole is heating up, so all the cold is moving south?
An inch of snow here today, and we're at the beach! Usually the presence of the water with its steady 46°F winter water temperature causes rain to fall rather than snow. And I had great powder snow skiing at Stevens Pass yesterday.
Season to date after snow yesterday - and last weekend, and last week. Folks tend to exaggerate the amount of snow they get, so here are the NOAA numbers.

Caribou, ME 100.9"
Portland, ME 97.8"
Syracuse, NY 96.5"
Montreal 85.6"
Burlington, VT 81.7"
Salt Lake City, UT 67.1"
Bridgeport, CT 64.3"
Boston 63.4"
Anchorage, AK 61.4"
Hartford 56.9"
Minneapolis, MN 49.3"
Edmunton, AL 47.6" (124cm)
Detroit 47.2"
Denver, CO 42.9"
i saw the storm in edmonton on the news, wild weather this year for you guys. I lived in Edmonton for a few years and moved to ottawa. I miss the good times at the oiler games, sen fans are boring.
Looks like a week of sunshine coming here in Vancouver. I was going to go mow the lawn today, but we had one black cloud roll over and dump rain on us, so will do it tomorrow instead.
Flowers are out. Definately spring here. Move to the coast or further South if your complaining about the snow, you know you want to.
I'm going to go buy an apple tree to plant on April 1st, once the PST kicks in. The tax on fruit trees goes away then.
What a difference a day makes. After a week or so of overcast skies and 30-low 40's(F) temps the sun popped out today with temps close to 50. Already got my "fix" in. Forecasting 6 " of the white-stuff beginning this evening.
Every little bit helps. :thumbup:
Awoke to snow flying this morning just outside of Indy. Supposed to get up to 10" between now and 10 a.m. tomorrow morning. Just rode the Wee yesterday so this sucks. Don't mind riding in the cold but will not ride in the snow.
I hear ya! I know here in the Pac NW we get teased with a couple sunny but chilly weeks and the idea of summer, and then it goes back to rain until the 4th of July!
Woke up to 14" of snow on the patio this morning. May not be a big deal further north but close to a record here. Glad to have put in some ride time a few days ago. Now where did I put those CC skies.
