No riding This Weekend!!!!
Alas, our lucky streak on Long Island will end later today when a huge Nor'Easter rips up the coast and plans to dump a foot or so of the white fluffy, anti-motorcycling stuff.

Whish we had a little of your cool weather here. Its in the 90's & I'm cooked. Think I'll take a dip in the cement pond later this afternoon & watch the Olympics to stay cool. This is supposed to be our rainy season, whats summer going to be like?

snow
We were supposed to get 2 to 8 inches here in WNC this weekend but it fizzled out. Ended up with only an inch or so. Sounds like it saved it all for you guys up north! Sorry.

Chilly ride
I attempted to get in a ride this morning. Mid 20's, snow outside, but dry road, typical Cleveland weather. Dressed up warm, low battery, got it running, managed to ride about 1/2 mile till I ran into a wall of snow, and high tailed it back to my garage. Damn.
Here's what the storm did to the Washington area:
Looking out front:

Looking up the street:

Looking out back at the two dummies getting cold. Judging by the table, we had about 10 inches. The totals varied greatly in the area. I'm trying to imagine what the totals would be if the initial 10 hours didn't start as rain.

It was a very wet and heavy snow - lots of trees broken/down. At least I didn't lose power like a lot of others did.

I forgot to snap some pics of the blizzard. man, the snow kept coming and coming and coming.
somewhere around 2 feet out here...but a lot of it got blown around so it only looks like 18 inches.
Two hours of non-stop shoveling to get 80% of the driveway done. Thank god for Dewar's 12 year.
I'd like to personally thank the scots of speyside, islay, highlands, lowlands, etc, etc...for contributing to the fine elixir that kept me warm whilst I shoveled.

I live in the snow belt of NJ but only got about 9". A few miles away they got over 20"! Now I have to wait for the salt and crud to get off the roads before riding again.
The pics above did not come through for me.
My dog (a Boxer) absolutely loves the snow. She rounds around in circles like a maniac.

Well, I posted some slightly wrong information. While the storm fizzled out around the Asheville area, the next county to the west got a foot and the area around Cherahala Skyway (2 1/2 hours west) got up to 40" up high!
No riding the Skyway for a while guys!
Very spotty storm. Heck, my driveway was even covered this morning and 30 miles away they had a foot!
