Venturous Randy Posted November 19, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 19, 2008 As I was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning, the news was talking about the priorities of the incoming admimistration. One at the top of the list was climate change. That made me feel better as it is 18 degrees outside and it is still over a month until winter gets here. I have to say that I can not see how you folks from up north deal with winter, especially our friends north of the border. This would be even more difficult for me due to my love of motorcycles. But, I guess for many of you, it's snowmobile time. Try to stay warm. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here in Regina Saskatchewan Canada it was about 50 today and sunny a real nice day. Sorry to hear that you southern guys are feeling our pain! :stirthepot: Actally i really enjoy winter, once it gets here, I just hate this one day warm, one day cold stuff and the cloud cover sux. Once it gets cold we get all sunny and clear and I love it. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomerCPO Posted November 19, 2008 Share #6 Posted November 19, 2008 At 6AM it was a balmy 20F here this morning. Now with the sun shining at 8:30AM it has reached 28F. I surely hope tomorrow is a bit warmer cuz I'm heading out at 5:30AM to do a 3 hour run for a Patriot Guard Mission way up in MassiveTwoChits.

Cerviperus Posted November 19, 2008 Share #8 Posted November 19, 2008 I too hate the cold, although it's the wind more than anything that I can't stand. Since we're already below normal temps here, I hat to think what the next few months will bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted November 19, 2008 Share #9 Posted November 19, 2008 Well it's about 40 here but they have to give the wind chill which is 31. This is really unusual for us. They said it's like Jan weather for us. I beleive it. Now for the important question, who order this nasty weather? Wasn't me I like our see-saw weather. Warm one weekend cool next maybe even cold, but it warms back up. I miss that. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sling Posted November 19, 2008 Share #10 Posted November 19, 2008 It was 23 degrees this morning when I left for work. I used to ride a Honda VTX and I would freeze at this temp.. The RSV with the fairings and such I was pretty comfortable. Ride home will be better (The ride home from work is always better) Why is that?
