Current weather?

[oldrider]

It's been snowing outside and is starting to settle, damn it!

Tried to post a pic but it wouldn't pick up.

What's it doing in your neck of the woods today?

Not too cold here at the mo but thick snow getting low on the hills. :yes: John.

[98tls]

Raining in virgil st john..............:innocent:

[Maha]

Currently 20 Degs' here John...i kid you not (i am inside tho) outside? its a different story...windy (rates up there with Wellington) and the odd squally shower, with a hint of sun every now and then, just to keep our hopes up..:yes:

[k14]

Started snowing here about 11am, about 20cm on the ground now and still going hard. YAY for the ski season :first:

[onearmedbandit]

Was nice this morning and I planned on going out for a ride to check some work doneto the bike. Now it's not so nice and the check can wait until tomorrow. Raining.

Brisbane - back up to 19 degrees. Which is semi arctic for Queensland.

Yet another bloody sunny day. Blue skies. Fluffy clouds. Gentle breeze. Yada, yada.:whocares:

Perfect weather all the time is just like eating icecream for breakfast. Great for the first week, but then you get bloody sick of it and hanging out for some decent porridge . . .:angry:

I miss snow:bye:

[MisterD]

It's Auckland, it's winter, it's raining...

[Swoop]

Fuck I LOVE winter! Bring it ON!!!

[Jantar]

Its snowing her, on top of frosty roads. Most roads in the area are now closed due to numerous accidents, and its still two and half hours before I go home. This will be a good test for the VStrom. :ride: :ride: :ride:

<hints id="hah_hints"></hints>Hahah yeah. I felt ungrateful when I told my parents that I found the endless blue skies of Brisbane (Ormiston/Cleveland -- where're you?) slightly depressing and very boring.


K14 -- amazing photo! I miss snow.

[janno]

I'm in the outer northern suburbs, about 20 minutes away from Dayboro and Mt Mee, so a pretty darn good spot by Brisbane standards for having a motorbike.

The slightly depressing description is apt. The lovely weather here, it's just, ya know, wrong.:shutup:

[robertydog]

Awesome day in Hawkes Bay. Got to about 20 Degrees. Been waiting for those stong winds, but nothing.

[Nasty]

the odd shower .. and crappy weather today ... is quite cold and the winds are really quite strong and biting :cold:

[Str8 Jacket]

Yep its a weebit chilly in Welly. Im sitting in my lounge watching the shite storm come over the hills toward the harbour!

You crazy bastard. I tried to get up our driveway but to no avail. Go 1/4 of the way up, wheels start spinning, wheeee slide down to the bottom again. I gave up after two attempts.

Looks like its stopped snowing here now, by the measuring stick approx 10cm. More coming tomorrow and sat by the looks too.

Mmmmm, You may be right. Since I made that previous post, there have been 4WDs having trouble on the Clyde Bridge. I may have to walk to Clyde and see if I can a 4WD from there.

Now I can even see the harbour! This weathers shit. Im going to bed.

[k14]

Just take the 4wd home from work?

[James Deuce]

Wheee! Thunder & Lightning!

[Str8 Jacket]

Wheee! Thunder & Lightning!



Fuck yeah, its AWESOME from my place. Almost scary!

[Steam]

My poor wee bikey is cold and wet. It has a blankie but I'm sure it's scared out there in the dark and rain. It's only a 400 after all.

[Mom]

Fuck yeah, its AWESOME from my place. Almost scary!

Wish I was there, I love the good old thunder and lightening, we have gusty wind and rain here so far, I understand we are in for the thundery stuff later on YAY!!!

hehe, my place is right up on the hill overlooking the hills and entire harbour. Ive been able to see snow on the hills, its been awesome. Now its totally black and the lightening is INSANE! I swear its almost an orange sometimes. Though that may be the beer....

[soundbeltfarm]

rough as and i got to go and have rugby practice in this shit.
it a big open area with no shelter from the elements. Gee i love this game.

We live on a hill too and can watch the stormy stuff on the hills in front, best thing I saw one night was the big forked stuff coming down, as well and the sheet lightening, man I am mad enough to get up at night to watch if it is really performing.....LOL


I prefer wine myself :dodge:

[James Deuce]

Very cool lightning strike on Eastern Hutt hills. Visible for a couple of seconds.

[Str8 Jacket]

My bloody cat just came in soaking wet with a mouse and then plonked herslef on me. ARRRRGH!!


Now its all cleared up!

[judecatmad]

I HATE thunderstorms :(

Been off work ill all day (whoever said morning sickness was just in the morning, and eases at 12 weeks - rather than kicking in at 11 weeks - was lying!) and so I'm hiding under the duvet!!

[Lissa]

We have only had a little bit of rain.... I want the thunder and Lightening :(

Nice to see you posting again Jude!! And Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!:sunny:

[Jantar]

My poor bike has sadly been left at work, neglected and abandoned, but at least it is undercover and undamaged. Just as well one of the other guys from work with a 4WD drove through the snow from Alexandra to Clyde to pick me uo then took me the 10 kms home.

Even though we own a 4WD just for this type of weather, Stromfrau wasn't prepared to come and pick me up. The snow has fallen onto an already frozen road, so its snow on top of ice, and I don't blame for being reluctant to drive in those conditions. There have already been many accidents on the roads around here, and one fatality near Lake Hawea. Most roads in the area are closed, and its still snowing, with the coldest fronts still to arrive.

Must be due to Global warming? :innocent:

[robertydog]

Quite warm this evening. The stars are shining and the wind is picking up

[Deviant Esq]

Absolutely 'orrible here most of the afternoon. It's currently pretty miserable, raining with a chilly southerly. Admittedly it isn't quite as cold as it has been recently, but that's not much of a consolation since it's hardly warm. Bloody hell, Central Otago sure got a pounding! Liberally coated with snow and ice - TV3 news did a piece on it at 6pm, it'll probably be shown again on Nightline at 11pm if anyone's interested. Glad you didn't risk taking the VStrom Jantar, that would have been nasty. Even if you'd maintained traction yourself you'd have had a pretty high chance of a car sliding into your path.

My bike's shivering under its cover outside. At least it's not getting soaked through, but it's cold out there! Still... rather it than me! :cold:

[mbazza]

Cold, some showers. No snow, but we are waiting! Cheers.:rockon:

[mbazza]

Global warming? Nah, it's just fumes from all those 4x4's picking up stranded bikers! Enjoy the winter. Cheers -
