Whats your weather right now?

Oh, I'm safe and happy as a clam in Montreal for now. Englewood FL is my wintering spot, hence my concern and attention to the subject. I was down there about 10 days after Hurricane Ian hit. If you haven't seen that kind of damage firsthand, its hard to imagine.
Thanks for the thought, @drgonzo.

72f right now 83f Thursday ( I'll be stuck indoors at the Mayo ) but Friday 68f a good enough day for a ride finally
And this time of year it's harvest time from the garden ( it has been a great year for produce although my pot seeds did not come up )
Pasta sauce, juice and maybe salsa this year but there are a ton of Romas still on the vine so it's time to ask around to see who's garden didn't do so well

Our weather is pretty shitty 
My thoughts are with those people of Florida who are getting hit by the biggest hurricane in 100 years.

While Florida and other states got pummeled by 2 hurricanes and tons of rain, Texas is hot and dry as a bone. We haven't seen rain in months. No grass (or yellow if any left), just exposed dirt. Some years are dry, some not so much.
We're getting close to 100F (40C) today and tomorrow. The weather girl keeps lying that we'll get rain and a cooldown "next week". She's been saying that for 2 months now. She's still saying "next week". Supposedly Wednesday. Year right! LOL

Cold. Frost again this morning. And the Council lorries have been out to spread a generous layer of salt on the roads.

Yes, the salt thing is really a plague. It usually takes several days of continuous rain to wash it off the streets. Even when it's dry, a thin layer of salty dust remains on the bike. The bikes of the 70s are very sensitive to this. My first XS, which I bought used in 1982, had been driven through 4 winters. She was an absolute ruin at that point. The front fender and mufflers were full of holes like Swiss cheese. The spokes were completely rusted and could only be replaced with bolt cutters 
Today is our last forecast day of 100 degree temps. We will see…..it has a way of sneaking back in. 
We are having a La Nina’ weather pattern this winter, which means hotter and drier than normal.

50f and windy right now Brrr..
I'm going to pick whatever tomatoes I might want yet as we could have frost tonight
The ones I'll pick will go in the shop and they can ripen there and the rest will just be garden litter after I pull out the vines

Central PA. So much rain. It was supposed to rain a little this morning but decided not to stop and tomorrow’s forecast is worse. Glad it’s just raining on my parade (of one) as I know how bad some people have it right now.
Freeze warning just issued for K C. Low of 28°ƒ
Shut off the outdoor spigots and drained the hoses... just on the odd chance they're right.

Yeah... I thought it a bit early too.
Shitty shitty rain rain.
Only two rides on The Brat this season, before ABS detonation; and one aborted ride on Taffy to show for this years efforts.
Hopefully I can sort Merlin for next Spring, and that Honda reliability shines through like the Sun rises over Califonina every day.
I can but only dream......

Had the first frost this morning and there is snow on the top of the mountains. It is supposed the warm up by the weekend so I will be riding.
It’s 16C at 8:00 am and the forecast is 22C this afternoon 
. Definitely a bike riding day! Looking forward to what may be one of the last riding days of the season.

Surprisingly mild day today for the time of year. No wind and dry roads.
Even had time to quickly test The Brat (R1200GS) following ABS system removal.

Weather in Topeka right now is total bull shit. Severe storm warning with 50 mph winds, hail, rain, flash floods and good chance of evening tornado`s. Worst part is I had all my yards cleaned up and ready for the annual leaf mulch at noon today.
