For the past couple of days, its been in the high 50's and 60's here and I was itching to dig my scooters out of the garage.
Woke up this morning to 4 inches of snow. Not complaining much since its been a mild winter. Just keep thinking only a few more weeks!

We got that. It was nice for a couple days and then winds @ 100mph, then snow. It was supposed to be flurries but some areas got several inches.

Yeah,  same here only no snow, just flurries. Remember. Mother nature is a bee-otch and one with a mean sense of humor at that. On a bright note, tulips are up here, geese are swarming like mad and I saw a flock of robins yesterday. I'm getting the itch also only it's just plain too soon to scratch it. Weather in NEMO and Western Illinois can be unpredictable this time of the year and I've seen it snow four inches in April when the cherry trees are in bloom. Now there is a depressing thought.

Yeah, girls, I know what ya mean! Between scootin' and golfing I am watching the weather broadcast like a hawk too!
Last night we got a dusting of snow and down in th 20s. Tomorrow a high of 45 and sunny is forecast. I am thinking I might get a very short ride in just to rev up the battery. I am talking 2-3 miles up and down the road, not much, but something!
Thinking we are "springing forward" (March 11) soon and have seen some daffodil shoots popping up here too!
Hurry spring!

We have had more rain and unspring-like weather than we have had spring weather. It threatened to snow a couple of times last week which is weird for the Island. I was scooting between rain drops.

Spring seems to have disappeared in the matter of a few hours. It is freezing cold out & they are talking snow for the Island. Very unusual for us here, blossoms are coming in on the trees. I hope we aren't going to have a wacky wonky summer again. I am done with the rain & cold.

super warm here in Chicagoland and super WINDY!!! It's blowing my car around the road so I don't dare try riding the scooter  I even had dreams about riding last night. But I got a flat in the front tire, so I guess my subconscious was telling me no riding today! _________________ A Dragon can be unseen or visible, minute or huge, long or short. However,

Today's forecast: partly sunny, with a high near 75 and south wind around 8 mph.
...And you know I'm going to dig this thread back up soon, when the high is above 90 with over 90% humidity.

We have had gorgeous spring weather the last few days, but of course in time for the weekend it is going to rain.  _________________ Dar ~ I was born to ride! my blog: Princess Scooterpie http://scootermayhem.blogspot.com/

weather is way ahead of schedule here in waaay upstate ny but we have another problem that puts off scooting for awhile--lots of sand left on the roads from fighting the ice of winter. so it's best to wait for the crews to sweep of the rain to take it off. already lost one biker that got caught up in it!!!!

Hi, it's been all over the map with weather here in P-Town, took her out to go to a local thrift store yesterday and apparently "it's not every day you see a girl buy a wedding dress and ride away on a scooter! ha ha ha The dress is for a event called "Brides of march" Man or woman you must wear a dress! i'm coming up with a way to keep my train from getting wrapped around the tire! I might just have to stuff it under the seat!  p.s. it's snowing now!

We've had grand weather here in Denver.
There are a few spots with the aforementioned gravel still left though, and a LOT of potholes. But, still awesome.
