Winter is almost here

[cyclecat]

Southern Alberta had it's first snowfall yesterday morning and the temp went below freezing last night. I think we had almost 2 weeks of summer this year; we have gone from spring right back to winter. It's cold and wet today and the forecast is calling for this weather most of next week. The Nomads are in for a long hibernation this year.

They are calling for 93 degrees here tomorrow.

CycleCat , I don't like hearing posts like this. That means it won't be long before I have to put our bikes away for winter. I don't like to be reminded. :(

MAS Tequila, you are welcome to that 93 crap. I hate it that hot. It was 65 here today and we rode 322 miles. It was great.

Winter here is some good riding well I like it anyway

[chucks1911]

I was riding in 94 degrees today.

As long as there is no snow, ice, or salt on the roads, I ride year round. My bike normally only sets for a couple weeks at a time during the winter. I'll ride with the temps down to 10 degrees or so.

Winter? Ha! It was about 108 here in Phoenix today.

Correction: 109 degrees officially. A new record high for this date.

Don't I know it Scott! Had to fly into Phoenix on Wednesday, and back on Friday. Short, busy trip, but it made me miss the 75 to 80 degree highs we're having in Colorado. Gets down into the mid 30s at night. Probably won't be too long until we see a few snowflakes flying here too.

Ah SNOW ! I know it's heading my way to sooner than I want it too....... The nights are getting cooler now, but the days are very nice for riding, always liked the fall time for that.

I rode up to Flagstaff today, then up along the rim (7000') and then we dropped down to Camp Verde, it was very hot there, and even hotter here in the valley. Thankfully, the sun was going down on my way home, which takes some of the sting out of it.

+...1
I do the same ..only times not riding is in snow and ice.
Because of the salt on the road..eats away the bike no time.
For all the rest..all season rider.
In the house I don't even have a stove.
I wear my bikers leather suit and save a bundle on energie.

I am still waiting for fall here in Texas. 94 degrees here today.

Storing my bike for the winter means not riding it for 2 or 3 days till after the cold front passes thru.

I don't want to see any snow here for a while. its in the 60's here right now and thats plenty hot enough for me.

[AlabamaNomadRider]

For this late in the year we are having some extremely hot weather. It has been in the mid 90s for several days. Monday and Tuesday prediction is for 97. Fall begins Wednesday.

[Bdog]

Geez guys..all this talk of 90+ weather is hurting. North eastern alberta the weather has been around +6 c to -6 c....0 is freezing. We had some snow flurrys yesterday too. Washed the bike up today because it might be the last time till spring before I can clean it up.

[cactusjack]

111° officially today, 115° at casa de cactusjack. Even though this is Phoenix, it shouldn't be this hot this late in the year. I'm tired of the triple digits! It's been this way since the last week of May.

[jamiep24]

It's been 97 and 98 all week here in Mississippi. About 10 degrees above normal for this time of year. If it was no humidity it wouldn't be bad at all. If you live anywhere close to the Gulf, you would understand. It could be worse. At least the nights are cooling off a little. Probably won't be much of a Fall. We're used to that. I think we followed up our coldest Winters on record with one of our hottest Summers...Nice!

[fatrat45]

SNOW what is that? it is going to be near 100 here today. can't even dream of SNOW.

[Jared]

Probably only a few more weeks of fall here too..... :( :( :( :( :(
