Lots of white stuff

CorsairMac where are you my friend? How is the weather there? Has it warmed up yet? We had the third highest totals in the state yesterday with 9.5 inches on the ground and a few more predicted tonight. Wahooo.
A few towns over they only had a little snow and rain. Guess I'll have to work on that anti snow dance.

I'm right here my friend - it was 62 yesterday with plentiful ( they use that word on the weather channel LOL) sunshine and windy.

Today it's 47, plentiful sunshine and calm. The temps are due to climb again starting tomorrow and reach the mid-60s again by Sat. These darn cold fronts are Most distressing!

Did that help any??

Wait, wait, wait. If the weather warms up, what snow we have finally been getting in the Sierras will all melt and go where? Downstream! Into our already overflowing rivers. I know, I know. I love warm riding weather also, but right now Kalifonia needs her snow pack.

I wish Mother Nature would throw her tantrums at night and be gentle and kind during the day so we can all ride. Oh, yeah, some of you commute at night. We all just need to start migrating like some giant herd of geese 'cuz we'd certainly sound like them, chatterboxes that we are.

Bein the nice people that we are, Surly and I would be happy to give y'all our snow...but I am happy to hear you gals are still on dry land. Was wondering if I needed to put arc building into my therapy.

Yeah and if we are going to send Spazz out there you better make sure she has nice weather. I'm not sure going from snow to lots of rain will be a selling point. She needs a lawn chair, margarita, some nachos and Sunny weather. Somebody better get her some sunscreen.

Karen, keep that Ark project in mind. I wish I could find some good aerial or satellite photos. It is amazing the amount of water that has flowed lately and there is obviously more to come, but without cold weather we don't get a snow pack and then California has no water to get us through the summer and keep the fishies happy (let alone fire danger issues). 1997 was the last time we had such floods.

The Pacific Northwest has had droughts for several years now. I've been so focused on California's weather that I don't know about them. Hey, you WA and OR girls! How's the water supply?

Inquiring minds want to know...............................

Okay, now I'm going to wet my pants laughing again.
sorry Karen

It helped a little. 70's or above would work better though. What I remember about NM is when we flew across country in our little experimental airplane we stopped in Angel Fire. Beautiful place, mountains, hot air balloons, temp in the 70's. That night we camped in a tent and at 4:30am woke up freezing to death. We never did get warm again, but all the hot air balloons rising at dawn certainly was a spectacular site. A very fickle lady that NM. Of course in New England the saying is "if you don't like the weather, wait a minute it will change".
