4-6 inches

[Stripes]

  Get your snow blowers & plows ready... The forecast is calling for 4-6 inches of snow tonight... Tis the season. I'm not ready for it...  

[DredheadV2.0]

Size matters.

[MadOzodi]

I love being in Region 4's red-headed stepchild state.

Just wait, after a few beers he'll say it's 12 inches.

Well here's to hoping it all goes south this winter, just like the rain last summer.

Yeah, my brain has somehow managed to repress those memories...although, the word Tornado seems to have scratched a neuron or two...

I thought the cold would make it more like 2 inches.

Left work at 11:00 pm.  34 miles.  Home at 12:30.  It was not a nice drive.  

[DredheadV2.0]

SNAP

Hopefully it doesn't get that cold.

[Meemuh]

Not so much as a flake of snow on the west side of things.

As they say..."neener, neener, neener!"

 You know that you WestSiders will pay for that later though...

G worked about 30 hours straight because of the snow.  I know he is saying f.  All that snow and not home to fire up the sleds.

55 degrees here in the land of the Original MassHole!  Riding is very good...no humidity to cause you to overheat and such....

Just sayin'  

[Stripes]

Ride report?!   just saying...

[Cheddarhead]

Ride report?!

Shades o boB!

Put on my new Shoei Multitec modular helmet, my Kili Air Jacket, HT air overpants, steel-toed workboots, and elkskin gloves.  

Mounted the Vehicle.  Inserted key, energized electrical systems and, using installed eleltric motor, proceeded to cause the 648cc 1 cylinder "thumper" to initiate rythmic cycles of intake / compression / ignition / exhaust of refined petrochemical fuels, converting chemical energy into mechanical energy through a highly-engineered internal combustion engine...and the transfer this mechanical energy to the paved road surface by means of a five (5) speed mechanical gearbox which in turn drove a sprocket / chain / sprocket / wheel and axle / tire linkage system.

Rode 13.1 miles to work on the backroads.  

Dodged 3 - 4 assorted MASSHOLES who respect neither lane markers nor traffic control signals en route...administered one (1) "Bird" and two (2) separate "head shakes" at said offenders, depending on severity of their perceived offenses.

Upon arrival at aforementioned domicile of employment, proceeded to dismount the vehicle (baby GS, mileage "still" under 2,000 miles...) and progress into said domicile.  Disrobed of said protective outergarments and proceeded to execute assigned responsibilities with utmost of flair, personal zeal, and unparalleled creativity and efficiency.

The End.




edited to fix typo and shift capital letters in "boB".  Since "zero" photos were taken during this excursion, the "capital B" goes to the back end of the citation.  Note that there (still) is only one (1) "o" in "boB"....

Now you know why I didn't have a vehicle when I lived in Bahhhstan.  Too many massholes.  The bus was exciting enough, what with the dodging of the double parked cars.

But...how did you ever get home?

The suspense is killing me!

You left the bike running the whole time you were there?

[Cheddarhead]

And a spelling mistake or two...

I've come to the conclusion that there is "no" way of spelling "unparalleled" such that it "looks" proper / correct.  Which is not to say that I didn't intend to spell it properly the first time...just that, as Dred so aptly noted, I was otherwise consumed / directed / motivated.

Sadly, being a touch anal-retentive about proper spelling is one of the many fringe benefits included in the "Big Cheese" package that is my personality...so seeing a typo or two (lovingly referred-to as "ed-Spell" for those of us who hail from R4...) in one of my own posts undoubtedly bugs the sh!+ out of me far more than it does anybody / everybody else...deal with it!

It's an F650GS...I was waiting for it to be consumed in a pillar of flame a la 'poof's demonic beast.

[ManWorkingHere]

I drove the cage because of the forecast of ice.  What a crock!  Sun is out and shining.  Should/coulda/woulda rode but now the bike gets put away Saturday...

But it never hurts to cultivate "friend of friend" in case of need...or to share better hooch instead of rotgut paint thinner.

Es verdad?

You think you guys have it rough?  [ur=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/clifton-vial-survives-coors-light-3-days-stuck-alaska-snowdrift-article-1.987044?localLinksEnabled=falsel]What about Clifton Vial??[/url]

[FJR1300]

Over the weekend the forecast called for snow coming in late Sunday and into Monday. Sunday they revised the forecast and took out all mentions of precipitation. I went to bed Monday night and again there was no mention of precipitation, so image my surprise when I woke up to an inch of snow Tuesday morning. While it's no problem for me because I grew up in the snow belt of Ohio - I cannot say them same about my fellow drivers in Missouri. There were hundreds of accidents this morning and it took my wife 90 minutes to get to work. Her normal commute, in morning traffic, is about fifteen minutes.
