Commute today- just- wow! Snow pics!

Well, I rode my bike to work in the AM today. It was rather warm. No worries. My low-top Nikes, carharts, rest of my armor and gear on though!

Anyway- had to ride it home, in about a good 18" of depth

Forwarded to my sis in Anchorage. I don't know if she's tired of winter, but she has no desire to move back into the lower 48. :D

We had jackfrost here this morning as it got down to 32 deg F. A third of spring is gone and the weather can't make up its mind.

Sounds like a snowmobile is better suited to those needs. I guess if you have the bug you have the bug. Riding is a disease that there is no cure for...

Ya know...sometimes Chris,You really IRRITATE ME!

If I could rely on wishes(waiting for that genie),right now,my #1 wish would be...peak-heat in August...your air-conditioner falls from it's location,and lands on your Neigbours car,leaving a huge crater in the hood...you come out to investigate,dripping in sweat,and gagging from dehydration(cause it's so "Hot and sunny")...and your neighbour beats the livin CRAP outta ya!!

WOAH...was that My OUTSIDE-VOICE?:ohmy:

Dang Sandy, you sure have a bad case of cabin fever up there, eh? :P :laugh:


Rose wants me to tell you that the brownies are being held up in customs (our fridge) until YOU come down here and reinstall the acci-purposely fallen air conditioner. :blink: :silly: :P :laugh:


Being the really cool and considerate friend that I am though, I'm still willing to share with you all.

Here's the view looking towards the west from my front porch:



And for those of you who live in "frosty land" and can't recall what it looks like, that pretty ball of fire in the sky is the sun, and will be blessing us with yet another glorious day of 80+ degree riding weather here in So Calif:


And here's a pic of the window-mounted A/C that's in our livingroom.


You'd better be sure to eat your spinach and bring some sturdy tools though, I mounted that sucker in there so well it'll take a backhoe to make it budge! :woohoo: :P


Wow, aren't I just such a sharing and decent friend? :laugh:
