-5C and sunny today. Supposed to be 8 in a day or so, however briefly, so snow can melt off the bottom of the drive.

Guess I'll Store the Mower

-2C outside. When I got up, the garage was 7.7C. Remote started the diesel heater and after 2 hours it’s 11.5C. When I go out after lunch I’ll crank up the electric heater and it should be a balmy in no time for the rest of the afternoon. Very light snow in the air but nothing on the ground (yet).
F@&#ing snowing
Maryland Winter is often 40's 50's F with some stretches of 20's & 30's.
Last year was mild.
Not sure what this year will be like.
I plan to do some short rides this winter on the back roads near my house.
Not winterizing/storing the bikes for this winter. They will all get ridden every couple weeks.
Had 4 different bikes out this weekend for short 30-45 minute rides at different times during the holiday.

Cloudy 28F with first snow fall as I type this which means the salt trucks will be out, ending my riding season. 
PennDot lays it on heavier every year it seems.

Good Bye Snow & November
9C and windy today, all the snow melted.
Harvested the last of the garden today, beets were in sub freezing weather for a few days not sure if they take that as well as carrots, we'll see.
Edit: the beets were good, but am sure they would be mush by spring.

Nice sunny and breezy day in SW FL today, probably hit mid-seventies. Currently 69*F at 8:08 pm.
First day of summer, phhhhttt! Keeps threatening to rain. I can't move race tyres out of the warehouse to organise everything. Last weekend was the final race for the year, clean up & have some holidays I beleive.
Just the lightest dusting of snow. But with temps yesterday afternoon above freezing and last night below, our street is a sheet of black ice.

Still well below freezing. There hasn't been any more snow, but the frost crystals have been growing - grass, trees, roofs all picked out in white. Frozen snow on all the hills around. The Scottish Borders are looking beautiful just now.
Bloody well cold & frosty when I left for work at 7.00am this morning. Temp Gauge in truck shows -2 but felt colder.
Glad I put my windscreen cover on the truck overnight. Took me just a minute to get going; unlike my neighbors who were scraping ice off their cars for ages! Tee Hee.......

I think I need to build an Ark!

It’s nice! Nothing more I can say about it.
Today, as the cold weather is replaced by a 'warm' front bringing heavy rain, Scottish Borders Council has issued a warning that the rain falling on frozen surfaces will freeze. Giving dangerous conditions on roads and pavements.
I recall a few years back, we had a similar scenario - the rain froze immediately as it landed on cold ground. We were in Galashiels that day, it was almost impossible to keep upright and pedestrians were falling over like ninepins.
This time, think we'll stay in.

Breezy an' damp. showers. Snow in the passes.
7 C and Partly Sunny at 1PM
Supposed to go to 10 tomorrow, it's rained enough lately to wash off the salt, so will likely go for a putt putt after lunch.
Cardiff has turned into Manchester where it fu*kin’ rains constantly.
Today I put both Taffy and The Brat on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notice), a legal requirement in Blighty so I don’t have to pay Road Tax over winter. If I get caught using the bikes by the Plod (Police) under SORN it’s a fine and points on my licence. Roll on March 2024 I say.

32c and 22c Lawn is brown, haven't mowed for weeks now. First cyclone of the season to bear down on the coast. Predicted to hit Tuesday, was a cat 4 weakend to cat 2 but expected to strengthen before crossing the coast further north than me. My area still in the wind zone . Can't b complacent and hate the waiting.
Jyahhhch, just sitting here lookin out the window, it's nearly dark, it's only quarter to four in the afternoon and we've had the lights on for ages. Need them on all day if yer workin. And it's raining. Been raining on & off for days now. Next change of the weather - maybe another few days or even a week of this first - it'll probably turn cold and icy.
Moan, moan, moan. Scotland in the winter.
