Weather where you are?

Clear as shaez, Chris, clear as shaez.

Speaking of weather, just had an episode at Preston Market, heard a splitting crack of thunder, didn't even notice the flash (don't reckon there was any delay if I had seen it) - then it hailed in bright sunshine!! The brave new world of weird weather  :(
 
My Mother worked at the local school until she retired 10 years ago, I had to tell her to stop sending sms and whatsapp when that was invented, as she used loads of abbreviations that the kids used, and half the time I had no idea what the hell she was saying, It was far easier to call NZ from spain to catch up, rather than message !
 
My mother-in-law has discovered whatsapp video calling and now insists on using it with her phone, all the time. Trouble is she has hand tremors, so after talking to her for a bit, you feel sea sick  :)  Gawd bless her for trying.

had to get the heavily optioned dual stage snowblower out this morning. Big twin cylinder gas engine, electric start, power drive in forward and reverse, multiple speeds, big headlight and electric hand warming grips..... The hand warmers are pretty much useless when the huge plume of snow streaming out of the blower head comes flying back at you in the wind in a huge cloud, but it is the thought that counts

Paul, pre Christmas weather here in the  Palm Springs regions is perfect hi temps to 76f during the day chilly low 50's at night. Sorry mate, I had to put that your way as I know you had a winter place here at one time. Next week have scheduled a ride through Joshua Tree National Monument(Park) then across a Mojave salt flat via the Amboy Road to Amboy (Route 66), plenty of opportunities to ride a big Laverda flat out for as long as you are brave enough (with a little technology from cell phones to give a heads up on Smokey), Cheers Dave
 
It would seem Helicopter Jim and Paul Leclair have sent their blizzard and cold weather east to the Canadian Prairies. Going down to -29 C /-20 F tonight....with wind chill factored in -39c/-38 . This is after receiving after 2 dumps of snow. The only good news is that it now heading Ron's way. Look out Ron...make sure your wearing your long underwear when riding that 750 Breganzie.




 
The snow stopped here in BC a couple of days ago. It was only -20 last night and I expect the same tonight. I'm okay with that as I need to finish some repairs to the snowplow blade on my Kubota. After that I'll be dropping a few dead fir trees so I can restock the woodshed.

I actually enjoy a real winter, at least for a few months, they are a  it to long here.  I lived in Saudi Arabis for a couple of years, could not stand the summers there...away too hot to do anything outside.. mind you my pecker didn't shrink in the +40c like it does in the -40C!!!
