Got down to -2 last night in SE SD.  All of our snow was gone and how we got 1 to 1.5 inches but that is over sleet and ice.  Central SD and NE SD got up to 14".  Just when you think the weather is going to start to shape up.  Sucks because we were 57 on Tues and 48 on Wed.  What a change.

Opposite here.  Was 5F a couple of days ago.  Now 46F and raining, but by tomorrow back to almost 0 again just to freeze all that water solid.

I'm with you! We went from 46 on Tuesday to below zero this morning. Hard to believe I went for a motorcycle ride on Wed. and now we are up to a whopping 1 degree with ice all over the place, and snow on top of that. We are supposed to get up to 5 more inches today. Better get your shovel out Dog.

Looks like it is snowing on you now.  What kind of cycle you ride?  I ride, but not till after a good rain has washed the roads to get the grit and sand off.  My cycle is a 2003 Suzuki intruder 1500.  I hauls me around fine.

Bought a '06 Yamaha R1 last summer. It gave me a scare last wednesday, and I haven't been on it since. It's supposed to get nice here again by thursday. If all the snow melts, and the streets are dry, I may take it out. I'm thinking wet streets are bad. I think I have a picture of the bike on here somewhere.
found it.

Nice crotch rocket... yep, wet streets are bad.  Too much temptation there.

It is supposed to snow here tonight and tomorrow with possibly up to 2inches of accumulation.  That is A LOT for these parts.  Glad we have global warming to keep the potential cold away...

That's where I was headed on Tuesday, and the rear end passed the front end while I was turning. It was not a good day.

A fill the pants moment.  Want to get mine out but the cold kind of puts that on hold.  Never had a rocket, temptation would be way too much so I stick to my heavy cruisers.  Put a car tire on the back of mine last summer, would never go back.

Thats the problem with those beauties!!! so much torque and S&G that they are very unforgiving. 
 
I like a cruisen bike myself.  An Intruder The older Low Rider style with shaft drive is a favorite.  And much more afforddable then a Hog.  There is a Harley plant here in York, I took the tour.  Union, half the workers were actually asleep.  Makes me want to puke almost as much as the totally free parasites of our society.

+1 on that.  Don't know Trigger, I got the same weather report you did.  I guess the only nice thing is that since we are into March it won't last as long.

Al Gore was NOT the one that rolled back pollution output requirements for the petroleum industry to 1975 levels and then hamstrung the EPA and watchdog groups.  GW did that at the beginning of his 2nd term.
 
Besided, Global warming didn't happen over night, to blame it on Gore or Mr. Eloquent ain't right.

Prepare thine posterior.  Global warming is myth, conjured up my Gore to sell green credits like the Catholic Church sold indulgences in the middle ages.  He did it to make a buck plain and simple.  Most agriculture experts are focasting a cooling trend, not warming.
