The never ending winter....... I think winter will never end here, we have had a drought for a few years so we need the water, but it has been cold and snowey for weeks with no let up. A frosty ass wind has been blowing for weeks. Woke up to snow this morning. The bad part is they keep putting sand on the roads and that takes a good month to grind up and blow away, so we can breath it, they feel that the air is too clean here and we need the pollution. They are saying another foot in the mountains tonight. Damn. And they will still complain about water even though we are at 115% of normal.

Ted I can feel your pain. I have come to the conclusion that I need to relocate myself. Yesterday and today were very nice, but overall the Northwest has lost it's luster. Nice days are nice but about as predictable as picking the winning lotto numbers.
Fuck the weather!

I don't mind a winter, as long as it comes to an end. Of course, the past couple days have been beautiful, which makes you forget all about the rain.

Yeah, did a decade in Seattle and Portland. Moved to Tampa a few years ago and really love it. Ride to work every day, a bit hot in July-Aug-Sept, and I miss the pine-scented scenery, but NOT THE RAIN AND MUD.
Traded in the snow skiis for a jet ski.
It is just tough adjusting to the fact that in Florida you are no longer at the top of the food chain. Lots of things that bite here.

The deal with Reno is the winters have a tendency to come late and stay late. In spring it doesn't rain too much, but snows. Here is the rub: Summers are absolutely beautiful. The nights are cool and the days are hot but very dry. 10-20 minutes in almost any direction you are up in the mountains on a twisty road. The only real bad thing is the altitude, it really affects performance. Although the 12 does a pretty good job of compensating. So here is what is going to happen, it will be cold and blowing snow till one day...bang it turns to summer big time. No time to get used to it. I can't wait.

They're saying it's the wettest April since 82', & the 7th wettest April on record here in Northern CA. Have washed & waxed the bike too many times lately; last time it didn't even need it. It's hella shiny...

EBD, we get the same weather you do except 150 miles (as the crow flies) and over the Sierras away. Basically you are due west from us.

Can't believe the news guy mentioned the "D" word in the weather broadcast (drought!!!) They are not opening the dams yet even tho most are filled up now...

Doesn't is seem to you that if the reservoirs are empty that it would be a good time to dig and make them bigger or deeper? I have seen Boca dead dry, just bring in the trucks and shovels. But no, they would rather waste money on studies. Assholes.

It was nice this morning but clouded up and drizzled. Only 52 degrees today, they say 62 tomorrow, but rain again on Sat. We need that jet stream to go north and stay there.

Looking for some good weather this weekend. Driving down to Boise, ID from Seattle. Taking the Z06, which despite the road noise, is a damned fine mile muncher. ____________

Get rid of those POS Goodyear tires and the road noise all but disappears.
