here in the UK, even down south, it's the worst winter I can remember for 10 years owning the storm. Constantly below freezing so I haven't been out since the 17 Dec, apart from a brief day when it rose above freezing it bucketed down. This formed ice when the temp dropped again.
With no other transport I've rediscovered how quaint and time consuming walking can be.

Been hovering at 10-20F the last weeks with partially melted snow previously that has turned into ice sheets... Fun, fun fun...
I'm starting to consider hibernation as a viable option...

Currently 63Deg F with the high today supposed to be 73.
Dakmatik I used to live in Stillwater Me and went to HS at Old Town. Spring is just around the corner. I really hope you guys up in Maine have a better summer this year than last year.

I hope next summer is better also. Until then I have plenty of time to get the vfr tank on the bike, and do all the other modifications I want to.

It's 64 degrees here at 3pm.
But don't believe what they tell you during the Rose Parade broadcast. We get all kinds of bad weather here, like snow, class 4 hurricanes, tornados, earthqakes, sandstorms, tsunamis...all kinds of bad weather.
So you don't want to move here.
