Hello Folks;
A wee bit of warming here in eastern Ontario, we'll be having above freezing temperatures for the next few days. BUT . . . it will be raining. That will make my green patch at the side of the house (aka the septic field down below) all the more greener. Degree by degree, Wing weather is approaching.

You guys will soon be getting your revenge for our Arizona all-winter riding.

Temperatures have been way above normal for March. Closer to May levels - high 80s and some low 90sF. This is Arizona Bike Week and the weekend promises to be mid 90s !

Too soon.

I weep for you. All winter I have been grasping the shreads of life from Arizona and OZ, trying to keep the dream of summer riding alive. I am sorry for the price you pay for that, but come on up... lotsa room here for wingers. crossy.gif

I've still got a little snow in my backyard. (Front yard, too)

My first trike ride last Spring, was on April 10th.
Probably another month before the weather gets warm enough, road salt dust gets washed away by rain, etc., to start riding again, this present Spring. :(

Before I got up this morning the radio said to expect freezing rain in the afternoon. Before I left for work the guy on the TV said he expected them to to remove the freezing rain warning shortly and change it to just rain action1

It was sunny & not too much below freezing on the way to work, about normal for this time of year. The rain came down in bucketfuls in the afternoon but no ice. I looked outside when I was shutting down for the day and decided I had better wear my rainsuit (first time this year) but by the time I punched out and put my gear on it was just about done so the only wet was road spray.

Nice here today in the 50's this afternoon and bit breezy. Got busy with chores but managed to sneak out on the dresser to run some errands. Supposed to be mid 70's tomorrow but thunderstorms morning and afternoon through Friday.

75 F and sunny here this afternoon so i was forced to take the 84 out to test the Vetter cruise control fix. It worked well. Definitely worth the time and effort to install.

In the 30's here in Va this morning. Calling for mid 20's overnight tonight then a decent warm up to the low 60's where we should be this time of the year next week, finally!

Cold & sunny here today. We had actual rain a couple of days ago that washed away a lot of the white stuff. They are calling for +8 more rain through the week on Thursday so hopefully it will all be gone next weekend but the yard will still be firm enough that I can bring Mr.H around from the shed next weekend.

Good Evening Folks;
I concur with Gary and Bob, sun and above freezing temperatures for the entire weekend. Now if we can get the salt washed away from the roads I would take my Wing out for a ride. But I'll take what we got !
