This whole "winter" thing... - Page 2

It's been a great winter for riding, but a terrible winter for water here. As Wes said, we're approaching the if it's yellow leave it mellow, if it's brown flush it down stage.

formula used:
Wind Chill T(wc) = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V0.16) + 0.4275T(V0.16)
where T(wc) is the Wind Chill in degrees F, V is the Wind Speed in MPH, and T is the temperature in degrees F.

lol na, jacket is a little stiff with the pads in it. but when i first started riding i used to wear a hoodie unzipped so it could flap in the wind. i have a leather duster trench coat that is like 4 feet long that i want to try one day. im just afraid that it will get messed up, but i think it would look super 1337, like a little redheaded mexican spawn.

Accuweather has put together a map...

These posts are hilarious, in the bigger parking lots we have snow piles bigger than houses.

**edit**Woah, my avatar picture is my wee baby ninja.

LittleRedNinjette · February 3rd, 2014, 09:45 AM

Another snowy day New Jersey....

At least it's pretty....

Sirref · February 3rd, 2014, 09:48 AM

It's funny how warm it was yesterday for the superbowl there. Just one day later and the weather has all gone to hell frozen over.

LittleRedNinjette · February 3rd, 2014, 09:51 AM

Yup, this would have made a much more interesting game.

Eastern Washington University lol. WSU's weather is pretty similar, Tri-Cities is waaaaay better though. Less cold, less snow, more happy. Planning on going to WSU TC next year partially for that reason.
