Springtime!

[greenbarn]

looking forward to it!

[Troll]

If all goes well, and according to plan, you'll get to see it in your driveway in August!

[greenbarn]

That's still a great looking ride, Troll.  I love two-tone's

[Troll]

  I still have the "winter front" on...going to be a while before I take that off...

[CDNRatMan]

  ok took till the last picture to see if you had your ears on the bike or not, bet they come in handy in weather like this......

   Just got back from a 125 mile tour through south eastern Minnesota...60 and pretty sunny, but VERY windy. No big deal, it's always windy on a bike! Home to the thriving metropolis of Lanesboro (no relation), and back using county roads...Couple of pictures of the Minnesota Mountains...kinda reminds me of the Front Range...NOT!  Yes, I found there was still some snow, here and there. Today was the Spring "Flood Run". I went west, AWAY from the river....

    ok Easter Sat. and it is 1506.......bike is outside in the shed, living room is almost back to normal, few small things to do. Bike is fuelled, tons of sand and grit on the roads yet, and I have to work my three days this week 22/23/24 and then off for 11 days. So time to get yard stuff done and if all the rain happens and the roads are cleaned off then time to go for a few rides..........

Supposed to be raining and cold..it isn't....HAD to go for a little ride. The river stage hasn't reached flood, yet, but it's pretty high. A guy I never met before saw me taking pictures and asked to take one of me...Oh, that's one of the fabled Mississippi freight barges in the background. That's just a little one. Sometimes they get 20 of those barges connected together.

Awesome pics Troll . . . love the color scheme!

Too bad its snowing huge flakes right now in Sioux Falls! I should be able to ride on Friday though, along with oil change and a much needed wash!

Back to no snow and the weather guesser is saying 60'sF for the rest of the week and 70'sF next week.  Yup, it's springtime in Indiana!

[greenbarn]

We got about 2-3".  It was blowing so much, though, most of it seemed to end up stuck to stuff like trees, and in drifts.  There was 3" on the hood of the jeep.   NOT my idea of a good time.

you can see the ground...that's a sign.

[CDNRatMan]

lol "F"

just started to snow about 5 mins ago

[Troll]

That's enough to get a typical Wisconsin citizen to get his tackle out...and maybe a boat! Did you know that a lot of Wis. High schools give a letter for fishing?

[CDNRatMan]

  well stopped raining now and so going to see if the fish are biting on my lake,

fishing season is open to all the members of the forum.....free and all the fish you catch are yours...

[pcarrell]

OK, 78F yesterday, now 40F and dropping with a light dusting of snow on the overnight tonight......YUP, it's spring!

[CDNRatMan]

  PC I did clean what has melted in the front this morning, and I was very good about it I did place it all in a plastic bag and placed it next to their garbage bins. This past fall there was a issue with the water line to the house and the city dug it up and left it, so my front will need some work this spring, now once we get a break in the rain I will wander about the back in my hip waders and find any and as much surprises as I can and do the same with them....

[pcarrell]

oh nothing so exciting as a fresh snow fall to make everything look so nice and clean, bet you guys are just so excited over that nice clean snow, this is what we got today, and been doing it hard since midnight, my lake in the back is the deepest I have seen in the last 10 years.....

That ought to help melt away the "gifts" left by your neighbors pet!

[gdrudd13]

this is what we got today, and been doing it hard since midnight, my lake in the back is the deepest I have seen in the last 10 years.....

We got that too, but it came before the snow.

I'm used to the crazy weather, but a 50+ degree temperature swing, high wind, thunderstorms, rain, hail, and snow all in less than 18 hours still surprised me. Especially this time of year. Only thing that might beat this in terms of odd weather was the "thundersnowquake" that happened a few years ago. It was thundering during a snowstorm that coincided with an earthquake.

It was pretty bright out there, but I did a time exposure.

[pcarrell]

I hate surprises. Got up at 03:00 to let one of the dawgz out, who wouldn't go out during the hail storm, and found this...

It was that light at 3am?

Here is what I woke up to this morning. Not really enough to matter, but still snow. It was snowing when I took this too.
