It is here as well. Pretty slushy, but is supposed to melt/freeze overnight. Now we get to see people get used to driving in the snow again.

OK, I just noticed I unintentionally had PUBIC and not PUBLIC in my signature for 2 years and NO ONE mentioned it. I might as well have walked around with my fly open and boogers on my nose.

Yowza!

Sat evening I went up to the second lookout/vista point from Estes Park at Rocky Mountain National Park. Not much life stirring on the road. It was a misty evening with a bit of fog. Windshield wipers and the `shield were icing up but no flurries. Maybe if I went a bit farther up (I think I was past 10K feet).

Some spots about the state did get snow - I-70 @ Eisenhower Tunnel had some (and an accident IIRC).

Its staying cool enough here to keep the snow around.   Sad  I was hoping it would warm up a little as I didn't get the sprinkler system blown out yet.

We're only at 3000 feet, so I'd hate to think what would have happened at real elevation.  Smile

well, we didn't get any accumulation here on the base to really speak of, but hear that the Hills got 3-4 inches. i went up there yesterday on the FJR to check it out and yep, they got some snow, but a lot had melted off. got some pics too. it got a bit cool (around mid 30's) while riding, but no biggie. it's in the 50's today. and back up in low 60's by late week.

have fun you all.

There were some flakes lower down on Sunday as well. Nothing that stuck but certainly the first fall of the winter. Nice little ride in to work yesterday with the wet roads.

In Bozeman, I would have said that too.  Out here on the plains, 4 hrs from the ski hill I'm, "Meh".

You ride when there is snow on the road Carl, so I'm sure a few wet roads didn't phase you.  Lol  Hope all is well.

Nah, no problem with the roads. Lots of fog + 34* = black ice comments on the news though  Rolleyes Plus the wackos who hit the freeway ramps at speed and wonder why they're sliding all over.  Rolleyes

I had some bonehead make a right from 199 onto Hover as I was passing through the intersection. He tried to merge across two lanes of traffic into the left turn lane in about a block. Too bad for me that I was already in the lane. I beeped to alert him I was there and then he beeped because he's the result of a drop of anal leakage.

Fricking idiot.

I'm good though Smile

But it's 87F due to the fires in the hills keeping the temps up. And I wonder on the "Sunny" aspect - sunny, if you could see through the smoke-n-haze?

But aside from the jib - I hope all turns out well w/ the fires.

dammit Jim so civil!  Actually it is completely clear at the beach, all the problems are inland.  It's hot because of the seasonal Santa Ana winds which blow from the desert.

Anyway, must be nice to have a crisp morning and not worry about fire and pollution...

"Crisp" Thumbsdown  No pollution, and no traffic.  Thumbsup

I guess two out of three ain't bad.

Actually its the latitude that gets me more than anything.  Its dark by 7:00 now.

People in California will never understand the beauty of Winter, the joy of watching seasons change.
I love the Winter. It makes you appreciate Spring. Plus Winter offers new sports - Snowmobiling, the second sport-touring.
