Weather where you are?

Hot, hot, and hotter here in Coachella Valley in Southern California, not one day in the previous week was less than 105, some days it was 116 next week the same thing, humidity around 40- 50%. At midnight it hovers around 100, we in Coachella Valley are in competition with Death Valley. This week I bought a house in Northern Idaho enough is enough,  next year I can look forward to summer, a move from the southern border to the northern border. Wolfgang will be a few hours ride from me, if Canada lets me in!
Things are looking up.

Congrats on the move Dave. We also moved away from the heat of Far Nth Queensland (more the humidity/heat combination), but I think we went a bit too far in the other direction. Northern Idaho eh, in between Washington State and Montana, it must be a beautiful spot.
We are having a nice warm late summer splurge at the moment in Norway, 28C yesterday here, I am lapping it up as it can't last.

Hi Dave,-
N. Idaho eh? Get ready for a lot more than a mere dusting of snow and harsh sub-zero winters...oh, and then there?s a month of spring break-up...
Being from that part of the world, I always jokingly tell folks ?don?t go there...nothing to see there...you?ll hate it.? Ha!!!
?Good to know there will be another Laverda in the northern wilds! BC and Alberta at your doorstep. It really is truly beautiful country with some of the most amazing riding roads imaginable.... You?re obviously in on the secret. Don?t tell anyone!

We got widespread snow.A very rare event here within 100ks of Sydney especaly so close to spring.As Marty said it dumped hard in the town where nrxt weeks ride will overnight.No chance it will last but who knows
 
Very nice way to endure lockdown, Andy. Our backyard is underwater in Melbourne, 8 deg on the thermo. Bot to head into the shed and work on some metal (no heater).

The secret is safe with me, Yeah Northern Idaho it's a shit hole don't go there.
 
we got our first substantial snow this morning, had to clear the snow off the SUV and scrape the ice off the windows. Have had a couple of prior light dustings of snow this fall, but this was the first serious snow. Happy to say it melted off the roads fairly quickly. Apparently going to be sub zero for the several days or so, but hope springs eternal that there may be a bit more riding yet before the bikes get winterized and put away.
 
Little bit of seasonal overlap here Paul. Light sleet - some snow - early today here. Very late for spring snow.
Day cleared up after lunch and was warm enough I did the valve clearances on a customer bike outside late PM.

This is the last weekend for the local ski fields to open. We've already had 24 degree days so I'm picking another drought summer.

Not if predictions on a La Nina summer are correct. In Victoria we've already had most of our annual rainfall. They're predicting a wet summer. I bloody hope so! Is there anything left to burn if it's dry?  :(
 
We are still having unseasonably good weather in the British Isles. Unfortunately I haven?t been able to make the most of this unexpectedly good biking weather having either been in quarantine or preparing for the impending house move.  :(
 
Hoping for a wet summer, some of the hills around here are still bare of any vegetation, the fire was so intense that any seeds were burnt, just mineral earth left.
