Weather where you are?

Hung the bed linen on the clothes line, dry in three minutes! Thirty-nine degrees and gusty winds. :LOL:
 
I had a preview of what hell will be like when I eventually kark it. Riding home from west coast of Tas in nearly 40C air temp with the sun beating down mercilessly on our heads. Opening the helmet visor while on the move was like someone blasting a heat gun in your face. Saw one rider in a bad way with heat stroke. I hope she was able too cool down and re-hydrate OK. I reckon I sweated more than the 2 litres I drank during the day because I was thirsty when I got home. Not sure whether vodka is the ideal fluid for rehydration though.
 
Just read that Germany is experiencing the dimmest winter since weather recording commenced in the 19th. century, with lowest combined amount of sunshine in December and January since 1951.  Only 14 hours of sunshine recorded in my region so far this January, which is quite depressing. ::) :(  Guess things can only get better.  At least the rain has stopped... for now!  And no salt on the roads because of the high temperatures means an early start to the coming bike season.  A cold spell is to be expected around Easter though, before spring gets going.

Yes Piet! We also have had a very wet and mild January!
Try telling that to our local water authority who seem absolutely determined to declare a drought despite incessant pissing down of water and rapidly filling reservoirs.
 
I trust you are just speaking of the tip of Kent, rather than those snow affected areas in most of the country , though none of merit in West Country.
 
Just got hammered with second noreaster this week. At least 24 inches of heavy wet snow. Main power lines into town out of service, no estimate when they will be restored. Plows have stopped coming around.  Streets have a foot of snow. Will fire up generator in the morning if need be. Right now sipping on some merlot with fire going in fireplace.
 
Power now restored, only off for about 20 hours, long enough for me to setup the generator and run it for 3-4 hours. Now need to re-prep for what will hopefully be 'long term' storage. Lost a few tree limbs and some shrubs.
 
Well, I just made it out of Mission Beach on Thursday morning by the skin of my teeth. Heading south through Tully, I saw how close the water was to the top of the bridge and kept heading south through pissing rain.

Within an hour of leaving Tully they announced the highway was closed at Tully due to the hwy being flooded. Phew.

Dropped in at Shajotas shop, but no one there. Couldn't remember where he lived, texted Andy who came back 12 hours to late.

Anyway home now

Sorry to have missed seeing Eddy and Peter

Did you find those behind you gave you a big cuddle, while chuckling away to themselves. Maybe your bag of weed hidden in the crankcase busted open.
