Default The official "Complain about the Weather" Thread

I know, I know, everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.

But let's be honest here. It's the middle of March. Time to dust off the bike, charge the battery, and get back on her. Next week is Easter, so it's a LONG WEEKEND.

And just how does Mother Nature plan to celebrate? By crying. 10 day forecast ... RAIN every bloody day.

I hate to say it, well maybe not :/.....

....but ours got a tad better, the snow forcast is no longer in the picture...the city's gone nuts over the last several days fillin' pot holes...and the 3 days or so of rain being discussed would be a blessing for sand and salt removal.

Yeah...we finally had enough rain to wash the majority of the salt and sand to the edges of the road.

But it's still 30's or lower in the morning. Although they keep promising 50 in the afternoon...it hasn't gotten there yet.

I can hardly wait to hear her roar to life again. In fact...I've almost forgotten what she sounds like.

Would love some rain, we're setting records for snowfalls up here.

My driveway now has a 6 to 10 inch layer of ice on it with 9 foot high snow banks on either side!!!!!!!!!

You don't HAVE to live in Montréal, you know...

You could move to the Provence or even Monaco. They speak a similar funny language down there...

I bet there's a law that requires women to shave their armpits too...

It's just a little too much blue. Pretty color, but it needs something else there to break it all up. I need some red on the black one, maybe do something to the wheels.
