Greeeeeat weather here yesterday, but today sucks. It's raining. Hang in there. There are some great weekends ahead for all of us.

rceezy · April 5th, 2009, 02:05 PM

Hopefully mother nature gets it right soon... We had some 70 degree weather this weekend but they are also calling for snow Monday.

TRIPLE DOUBLE U TEE EFFFFF!

Rynownd · April 5th, 2009, 02:13 PM

zartan · April 5th, 2009, 09:59 PM

z28melissa · April 6th, 2009, 05:04 AM

Moo-wasaki · April 6th, 2009, 06:36 AM

Woke up this morning to find out about the winter storm warning for tomorrow too.

For our Hawaiian friends...there are different types of snow...this round is is going to be the "heart attack snow"...very wet and heavy to shovel.

Nemy · April 6th, 2009, 09:21 AM

Not so fast. In Cali, we do have snow.. whether in The Bay or LA, we have Lake Tahoe up here, and Mammoth down south

Portland has colder water since it's closer to Alaska + rains more up there + 55 mph speed limit on highway. but enjoy that if that's your kinda town

SpyderGirl · April 7th, 2009, 08:12 AM

In Cali you can ride to the beach and surf then go up to the mountains to snowboard or ski all in the same day.

sometimesido · April 7th, 2009, 09:03 AM

we had about 10 seconds of snow this morning hahahah.
37 degrees.

CC Cowboy · April 7th, 2009, 09:15 AM

It's f...ing cold and windy here today. Supposed to hit a high of 66 but with these winds the wind chill will probably make it more like 60.

sm0kediver · April 7th, 2009, 09:27 AM

40 here, and it's been spitting snow all day. Very windy. I'm off work with my kids for Spring Break, and I had hoped I would get in some short rides. So far that's not working out.

lol my bad. I didn't know you could board up in Cali. What're the snow conditions like?

and I know about the rain in Portland

But it also has my first pick for law school

sm0kediver · April 7th, 2009, 12:23 PM

I just made a 20 mile round trip to the barber shop in 40 degrees with 25 mph winds. That sucked.

sometimesido · April 7th, 2009, 12:51 PM

haha, i bet.
still, rather do that then riding in the downpour during rush hour...which did happen...

Snake · April 7th, 2009, 12:55 PM

This morning it was a bone chilin' 33 degrees. For the 10 miles I have to go to work it was worth it to put my cold weather gear on.

sm0kediver · April 7th, 2009, 12:55 PM

Me too. At least I can see when it's windy.

lol that's when you know you need raingear

Syphen · April 7th, 2009, 07:35 PM

I just got in from snowblowing. There is a foot of fresh snow in my backyard. It sucks because it was spring. I have put several hundred kilometers on my bike already and now its like we are back in to the depths of winter.

rceezy · April 7th, 2009, 07:37 PM

I am going to boycott the weather!

Okay that may be impossible but something's got to give. We paid our dues from December-March, PLEASE turn the heat back on!!

I have all waterproof stuff except gloves, and I have ways around that.
I'm more worried about cagers.

miks · April 7th, 2009, 07:54 PM

Those blinking light things would be good in rainy weather, the ones on the Formula One race cars. As for waterproofing your gloves, wrap a plastic bag around them

you almost got it.
I use mechanic's latex gloves, then my riding gloves.

Nemy · April 8th, 2009, 08:20 AM

Check out the Joe Rocket Nitrogen gloves. Waterproof and they'll keep you warm up till 0 degree weather.

sometimesido · April 8th, 2009, 08:47 AM

Maybe in the future.
My next purchase is boots.
