Default Unpredictable spring weather, this ain't pretty!

First we get an early spring with lots of riding time, then 10 days ago we get this dump with 12" of snow...



Then it warms up to 70 degrees 2 days later and all the snow is gone. Great riding over the weekend with a sunburn.



Fourdays later the snow is back. Here's my kids at the window last night after 12 hours of snow fall...



There calling for 20" over the weekend and snow hasn't stopped in 24 hours now. Here's what it looked like this morning!



Some 20" drifts here and there and lot's of drifting on the roofs as seen. Welcome to weather near the Rockies. LOL

This picture is from a few weeks ago in late March.

I feel for you GlideMan. Living in the desert isn't what it's cracked up to be but at least we can ride most of the year. The temps here are in the 70s to 80s during the day but it's still getting into the low 40s at night. Today, as it usually is in the Spring, the temps are nice but the winds are blowing better than 40 MPH. Before too long the wind will quit blowing and it will be well over 100 degrees but at least it isn't snowing. Best of luck to you for good weather soon.

Yeah, the weather in the Puget Sound region is psycho today. (well, all year) Started with snow last night, sunny first thing today. Then it clouded over. Then it warmed up and then it rained. Then it hailed. Then the sun came out - but it kept raining. Then it dried out for a while and the asphalt was steaming. Then it snowed for 10 minutes. Then the sun came out again. It's been so weird that I've been relegated to - cleaning house! My bride is working today, so I've handled the dishes, laundry, taken out the trash and cleaned up all the Harley gear I had piled in our window seat. Dang weather keeps this up, next thing ya know, I'll be cookin dinner too. Some "spring."
