Our Weather

[scumdog]

It's pissing with rain right now and is at best about 5 degrees, just checked a hot-rod (Relics and Rods) site based in *Lake Havasu in Arizona, it displays time & temperature,when I last checked it was 4:13pm and 102 degrees F!!! Bastards!!! (use to show Celcius too but they seem to have dropped that)

Roll on 'summer' here eh?

*Been there in May and it IS ef'n HOT let me tell you.

[vifferman]

[crazylittleshit]

We've just had summer. Just the other day. :yes:

[Beemer]

Apparently there is snow on the Tararuas - can't see them right now as they're covered in snow clouds! Yesterday was the worst I've seen for a while - we were meant to be going on a club ride to Wimbledon but it was bucketing down here so we passed. Usually the weather clears up once you decide to stay home, but it got worse. At one point the rain was so heavy and it was so windy it looked like dust clouds rolling across the paddocks. Our water tank overflowed and the pond was threatening to do the same. So glad we stayed home!

I moan in summer it's too hot to put all the gear on to go riding, but I'd rather be a bit hot to start with than put up with being wet, cold and miserable just for the sake of going for a ride!

Roll on summer! The shortest day is coming up, so every day from then on is a day closer to summer, that's what keeps me going!

[crazylittleshit]

We've just had summer. Just the other day. :yes:

When was that Was I hung over at the time? :puke:

[Coyote]

Summer sucks cause it gets too hot and humid, winter and autumn both suck cause it's too wet, and spring is worse cause it's hot and wet. You can't win can ya?

[N4CR]

Well uhh.. it just started hailing here and VERY heavy too :'( going to uni should be fun if it hasn't tidied up in an hour or so...

edit: ill probably end up being blown into the sea down on the waterfront, do zxr's float well or should I bring a lifejacket?

[zadok]

Pah! Topped 50 degrees last time I was at Lake havasu - best you keep your wooly hat on at the low temperature you're 'suffering' :rofl:

[idb]

Passing rain and sleet showers here.
I'm looking out the window and when Coronet Peak appears the snow is about 3/4 down to the base.
Perfect Brass Monkey weather...bring it on!!!!!

[Yarg]

Bit more rain to come next month me thinks. :ride:

[mangell6]

The Southerly front hit Upper Hutt just as I was cleaning out the last of the gutters on the house at about 12:00. Then the rain and hail arrived.

[Pixie]

We've just had an exceptionally dry warm autumn, and the first sign of seasonal weather the whiners come out. :nono:

I wonder what bikers in Arizona complain about??

[Waylander]

Phoenix get's hotter. Think the record high there is 113 Ferenhight (or however it's spelled) Dallas High averages about 105 - 111 every year. Humid heat too. Complain mostly about riding through a big swarm of nats. Or sitting baking in traffic while the cagers stare at us from thier airconditioned tin cans. (but then we laugh back when thier engines overheat)

Some one magic this rain away.

Meh! :bs:

Aahh! The southern winter...How I miss it. PROPER cold, PROPER [Horizontal with a hooowling southerly] rain, clear nights and crisp frosty mornings , maybe even a bit of snow...*sigh* (I guess we do have our have our own Frosty up here though...)

In the JAFA land it's just miserable, cold [but not cold enough to remind you you're alive] soak-you-to-the-marrow-of-your-hapless-bones...

R A I N!.

Farking stupid Auckland weather!!!! :mad:

Phurrball - homesick southern boy :weep:

Clear sky with no rain here at the moment. Coolder than the devil's heart though. Wish the clear sky would stick around during the day.

It just started hailing :oi-grr:, thanks for that...

Stop whinging about the weather you miserable bunch of plebs. What are you poms or something ?

You don't know what bad weather is until you have to ride 150 miles home from work in horizontal rain in temperatures of minus gazzillion degrees Kelvin on roads packed with fuckwit cages. It gets so cold your neck scarf freezes. No shit.

Bloody poms have a lot to answer for, showing you all how to complain about the smallest things. I thought the Kiwi's were a happy go lucky sort. Big girls blouses the lot of ya. :whistle: Can't play rugby for shit either.

It's lurrrrrvly here.

Not complaining. Simply remarking on the weather. Litte bit of cold and rain would never stop me from riding. Anything short of the monster storms from day after tomorrow woudn't stop me.

In my day we had to walk to school in bare feet through the snow.

Snow!? Luxury etc etc.

[Ixion]

In my day we had to walk to school in bare feet through the snow.

Lazy youff. In my day we had to MAKE the snow before we left for school . And walk all the way there on our hands so as not to get our bare feet dirty, cos shoes hadn't been invented yet. Through the 10 foot deep snow drifts, that the big boys had made.
