SilvrT Posted January 17, 2011 #1 Posted January 17, 2011 Contrary to what we were led to believe last fall, this winter (so far) is turning out to be a lot nicer. Yesterday's high was 14 Celcius. Forecast for the up coming 14 days is looking pretty good. During my short 2 block walk for lunch today I saw 4 guys on bikes. With any luck I will get a chance to get out on the scoot over the coming weekend! [ATTACH]53395[/ATTACH]
Flyinfool Posted January 17, 2011 #2 Posted January 17, 2011 Well I'm glad someone likes this winter. Here it was predicted to have warmer than normal and lots of snow. So far it has been way colder than normal and way below normal snow. I would much rather have the snow than the cold.
Venturous Randy Posted January 17, 2011 #3 Posted January 17, 2011 Since the majority of those on here do not know what 14 Celsius is, how about also listing in Fahrenheit? I used to know the formula, but have forgot it. Thanks, RandyA

Thanks, RandyA With the resources available on the net and elsewhere, it's easy enuf for folks to figgure it out themselves ... and it's about time you folks down there got with the rest of the world anyway and switched over to metric ....

Black Owl Posted January 18, 2011 #9 Posted January 18, 2011 Ifn yah works fer the Govt yah kin get real close with Cx2+28=F.
SilvrT Posted January 18, 2011 Author #10 Posted January 18, 2011 Ifn yah works fer the Govt yah kin get real close with Cx2+28=F. The actual formula is F = 9/5 * C + 32
eagleeye Posted January 18, 2011 #11 Posted January 18, 2011 The actual formula is F = 9/5 * C + 32 + eh EagleEye

N3FOL Posted January 18, 2011 #13 Posted January 18, 2011 It has been ugly in our area for the past 12 days now. The last time I rode this year was the 3rd to the 6th. I am hoping this weekend will be dry at least, so I can be back on the bike. Today, we had snow and ice on top of the snow....so commuting to work was slow going.

Condor Posted January 18, 2011 #15 Posted January 18, 2011 and it's about time you folks down there got with the rest of the world anyway and switched over to metric .... Neither F or C is metric... youse guys just can't figure out what's the temp when water freezes....... Metric is for folks who are limited to fingers...... and toes if they want to be sneaky......... :rotfl:
Rocket Posted January 18, 2011 #16 Posted January 18, 2011 heh ... the last time I rode this year was .... wait a minute... my scoot hasn't even been started since last November... Last time I rode was on 7th Jan & would have again on the 14th. But I had to start my trek back to Wainwright in the frozen prairies. With the hwy closure, near Jasper AB (demolished propane tanker & semis) it took me 3 days to get back. Good thing I wasn't planning on a more southern route, as that one is still closed.

Gald U made it back safe and sound. As for riding on the 7th & 14th ... some folks who don't have to work have it lucky to be able to grab those opportunities when they can. Me... I have to wait for a weekend that has nice enuf weather and I'm not already doing something else.
Flyinfool Posted January 18, 2011 #18 Posted January 18, 2011 Jeff, You shouldnt' have said that---You'll be out shoveling tonight and again tomorrow. AND THEN it will get COLD. Steve It has snowed every day this month so far and from 18 straight days of snow we got a whooping total of 8 inches, most of that in one chunk yesterday. As I mentioned above, I would rather have the snow than the cold.
Aussie Annie Posted January 19, 2011 #19 Posted January 19, 2011 :rasberry::rasberry: to you on the metric :buttkick: 28C at the moment, but going higher
SilvrT Posted January 19, 2011 Author #20 Posted January 19, 2011 28C at the moment, but going higher And that's at what time of day..... 3AM??? LOL
spear Posted January 19, 2011 #21 Posted January 19, 2011 We had a much cooler day here yesterday. Only got to 31degC - after 36 the day before.
Sailor Posted January 19, 2011 #22 Posted January 19, 2011 Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow two more weeks and to Maui we go....
SilvrT Posted January 19, 2011 Author #23 Posted January 19, 2011 Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow two more weeks and to Maui we go.... have a great trip!
ccterry Posted January 19, 2011 #24 Posted January 19, 2011 Just put 200 miles on the new back tire I got for my FZ6. Kinda windy out but up to 70o now.
Flyinfool Posted January 19, 2011 #25 Posted January 19, 2011 Tomorrow night it is supposed to get down below zero F with wind chills below -20F. I thought that I asked very nicely that you northerners keep this cold stuff up there. Sheesh.....!
