    Ok. Enough is enough!

    Yesterday it was 75ºF here, and really wi n d y.

    This morning I get up and it's a blizzard.

    Now its freezing drizzle.

    I know they switched from "global warming" to "climate change" but this is ridiculous! Even the hour by hour forcast is becoming inaccurate. I guess I will have to go back to the old "weather rock" method. You know, if the weather rock is wet, it's probably raining....

    Welcome to kansas brother! lol I just moved here in november and I've figured that out already. One of the things I miss most about missouri is the more normal weather and THE WIND ISN'T BLOWING ALL THE FREAKING TIME! ! ! ! ! ! !

      Sounds like you guys might be as irritated with the weather as I am. Yesterday it 60 and was windy, today was about 40-45 and rainy, and now they're calling for snow for the next 2 days.

          Hang in there Ivan... Spring's coming

          here and there... eventually...

          We've had the same thing going on... One day it's really, REALLY nice and the next we're bundled up in winter gear...

          It seems that the nice days when I decide to polish the bike are followed by days when the weather is not conducive to riding...

            Hey Kat,

            That just makes your polishing work last longer anyway!
            Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

            When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

                Well, that Kansas snow hit us here in MO this morning, but it's above freezing, so I still rode the bike to work. Nothing is sticking to the ground, since it's been over 60 deg. for the last week. I just had to put the liner back in the jacket before I left this morning.

                  The weather is being a tease here in Ohio, too. Yesterday it was sunny, beautiful and almost 70; today it is raining and snowing.

                  We upgraded our weather rock to a weather cat. Instead of getting up to go check the rock, the cat is more than happy to come and find ME and show me just how wet and/or cold it is outside.

                  Wet on top - it's raining
                  Wet on bottom - it has recently rained
                  I know this, because Tyler knows this.
