Default Will it EVER stop raining??

The only thing worse than a long snowy winter is.......a long, wet, rainy spring.

Holy hell, I winterized all my hotrods in mid October. We had snow on the ground right up until the second week in April.....and then the rain started. I have not had 1 single day yet where I can take the toys out for more than a 5 minute test ride. Its either snowing or raining. ARGHHH Im going nuts. Please tell me Im not alone!

That's one of the many reasons I moved from NYC to Florida...always seemed to be rainy & overcast in the Northeast. Believe it or not, here in Florida I actually get tired of sunshine & sometimes wish for an overcast, rainy day. Yea, it rains here, but not for days at a time like the Northeast. **** on that crap.

Im in Indiana and its been raining non-stop for weeks now. had 2-3 nice days to ride over the past month but thats it. The last few years its seemed like we went from winter straight into summer, this year we are actually have a spring.

As bad as this sounds I'm glad the wife and I are not alone in this. Our area is forecasted as a warmer and wetter than normal summer.

I always thought it was supposed to be May showers brings April flowers but it this keeps up they may need to revise that saying.
Yeah it has done nothing but rain here, water standing everywhere. Yesterday was beautiful, today is supposed to be too. Count our blessings huh?

This defiantly sucks so far. Looks like a repeat from last year. It rained som much last year, that I only had 2000ish local miles. I would have had a really low milage year if it wasn’t for my 5000 mile trip.

Hope things change soon.

Yep, wasn't able to get out on the road yesterday, too much to catch up on and had to take advantage of the break in the rain yesterday. Rode it to work this morning though, was a little colder than I thought it was! But it will be nice when I get off!

Same here, Syracuse NY area. This State just sucks the life out of a person, especially this area. Between the banana republic dictator running the state and the constant lousy weather year after year it's just to much. I'm getting the hell out of here.
