Snow & sleet in nc

[Shot]

It's beautiful since we don't get much snow around the Raleigh, NC area but it sure cuts into riding. It's been cold around here but I've been on a number of Patriot Guary missions; you can't go in this stuff. I guess you guys up north laugh at us down here but what can I say. Spring is just around the corner. Hope everyone is safe and warm; I don't send many threads but I don't have a lot to do right now. I did get my stebel air horn in but am waiting on the bracket to install. Can't wait to blow out the windows in the garage.

Yes, this is a bit of an inconvenience. I was riding Thursday in 65 degree weather, but that change quickly. I have not made many Patriot Gaurd rides this winter due to health issues up through December. I do love living in North Carolina and really love the small community here in Bessemer City. It looks like two more weeks before the bike gets out.

Lots of freezing rain here in north Georgia and ice everywhere.

Well we got about 5" and some ice, sleet, freezing rain (whatever it was). Gonna be all frozen tonight. I don't like snow much, glad I live here where I don't have to deal with it much. Came south to get away from it. Can't wait for it all to melt.

Yep, was out riding thursday too... It felt great.

Did a little round trip up around that great tall mountain called spencer and then over to the lake and back home.. Great ride but windy...

Looking forward to 12 degrees F in the morning.:snow2:

 

I do still have a mini bike I had as a kid made by Heathkit called the Boonie Bike.... came with a ski attachment for the front wheel.. Did not get it out though.

We had over 10 inches of this ****

 

I can't wait for the warmer weather.

We got about 2" of snow and some rain and sleet on top of that. Looks like is going to be around for a couple more days.

... our snow is melted, sun at 5,000 feet today, some blue sky with light occasional overcast. So I rode full dress and did find in 46-48%, but my finger tips got cold. Going to buy a set of the wool liners I read about here on another post, and that may work. Put in 40 miles just around our Horsetooth Lake and through the town going north and back home.

 

Tomorrow one or two of my riding buddies and I are out again, as should have the same or slightly warmer. The AM weather channel will rule, of course.

 

Feb through March we may have skiffs of snow, or a good 2-4 ", but usually the sun does the shoveling, and we are OUT. VARRRRRRRRrrrrrooooooommmmmm!

 

And when we all ride lets ride happy, hard, healthy and safe, ... and always together for those of you who have a Queen Seat or Lady UP Rider. Still looking for mine; FINDERS FEE for successful rerral of course! LOL.
