Ours is supposed to nosedive from 64° to 21° on Thursday. :mad:
That is not a very nice thing to do to Cajuns that are used to 90s!:waiting:
Dang Canadians need to keep their weather to themselves. :(

I did it with my hillbilly hoodoo magic! I'm going to bury DC under three feet of ice and turn the swamp into an ice rink and get Joey Joe Joe to lick a flag pole because it tastes like vanilla Joe!. Crap, I'll have a white Xmas. Oh, well. Sorry about the pipes and bent fenders in advance.
 
Clear & sunny, NOAA Weather forecast high bumped up to 58* F... a nice day, nice enough to make me double-check the forecast, as I'd hate to miss a good day for riding only to have tomorrow turn cr@ppy. But tomorrow's forecast high is still 60* F, so I guess I risk it. :rolleyes:
 
Shoot me now. It's -35 F (no wind). Christmas day we have a nine hour drive and it's supposed to be +35 - 40 with possiible freezing rain along the way. That's going to suck. I prefer the car for a long drive with our gas prices but now we need to take the truck. It has studded tires and the option of chains.
 
Man, I really feel disconnected from this thread right now... I spent over 2 hours in my yard this afternoon, watering the trees and enjoying the sunshine. Felt like 65* F in the sunshine, a shady & windy spot can feel 15* or 20* cooler, though there wasn't much wind today. Beautiful afternoon, and tomorrow---my chosen riding day---is supposed to be 60* F or higher. No "Frozen Chosin" here, lol... that's one for you USMC Korean War veterans, if you're still alive. Hopefully you are, but time marches on, ya know? Anyway, I hope alla youse heroes & heroines in that "polar blast" or "arctic express" storm take care and hunker down if you can... I once spent a month in roughly -30* F weather, during 'Arctic Training' in the Aaarrrrrrrghmy, and it was an edumacation, lol. Fortunately, I was young & "bulletproof" and I could withstand cold temps easily... I woudn't wanna do it now unless I absolutely HAD to do it, lol. 😒

I also drove a truck in subzero weather a number of times, usually just trying to get out from under that cr@p, but in REALLY BAD weather, I just hunkered down and rode out the storm, aye? My truck sleeper was always stocked with food, water, extra gear & clothing, etc., for that very reason, and also because I frequently went camping on time off away from home. I kept a tent, fartsacks, Coleman camp stove, propane canisters, coolers, etc., aboard my truck, and I'm probably the only driver who kept a 4-man inflatable raft under his bunk for float trips, lol. I dunno, maybe some other hero kept a raft aboard his truck, I saw mountain bikes, kayaks, a surfboard, and some other equipment aboard trucks in the past... drivers like me who realized that it wasn't a job, it was a lifestyle, lol. What was the old Navy recruiting slogan? "IT'S NOT JUST A JOB, IT'S AN ADVENTURE!" And when it came to trucking, they were DAMN RIGHT, lol... 🤣

Gimme back my warm weather😉😃
 
Ok, I just had to grab this pic of our local forecast for Thursday because it will vanish at midnight.
I know one of the numbers is totally false, but which one? :dunno: .
