Rain rain go away

[oldcarkook]

Dang we've had a wet season! :help I feel like I live in the Pacific Northwest. (no offense to you poor people who live with this stuff all year long) Temperatures came right up to the fifties with the arrival of the rain, but I'd rather have the 20s we had last week and be able to ride if I could choose.

It has rained a boatload this year for sure. Today is no exception with fifty knot gusts and rain coming down sideways. The weekend looks like it's going to clear and we have a Yankee Beemers meeting on Sunday morning so may the skies are brightening after all. Breakfast with gang and buzz up to Moto-Mart maybe? Yea....that's the ticket! :burnout



Thanks for listening. My rant is over for now.

Well, our summer was pretty dry, so that's where my vote landed. That said, I wish we only had rain here. We've got a good layer of snow here that does not seem likely to disappear soon, the streets and alleys are covered with packed ice. When it starts to rain again, say about April, I might be able to get the bike out again.

Ditto what Ed said. We went from sunny 65 degree F days to 14F in two days and so far we've had three weeks of 20 degrees F below the averages for this time of year. No rain, no Fall, straight into Winter, fog, snow and ice. Rain? I wish. I could still ride in rain.

We had rain last weekend (and I actually rode in it!) and we're probably going to get some sprinkles here over the next few days.

It hasn't really rained since last May and fall is when we start to get rain again. It's already started to green up my little patch of lawn and the hills will be green again in another month.

I like it. We've had about the normal amount of rain. Do you mind if I add "About Normal" to the poll?

Guess it will be mudslide season there in California now that the fires are out.....

They had 6 inches of rain in 2 hours in LA, along with 18 inches of hail yesterday.

We had a beautiful day here in NorCal. :dunno It's hard to generalize about a state that's the size of the entire eastern seaboard.

We had waaay too much rain for too many days in a row lately. I don't mind riding in the cold, or in the rain, but can't handle rain when the temp is high 30's. Yuck.
We started building an ark in the barn, then someone pointed out that had been done before.
The summer was dry-ish, but the last two weeks have made up for any lost moisture.
