It is 12 degrees above here in northern Minnesota.  It was down to 45 below zero yesterday morning so it is nice and toasty today.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

 well it's been warm enuff the last week that i've been having to go wash the car,.. so today I spend about three hours on her and she's just gleaming in the sunshine, then about 3:45 suddenly the wind changes direction from out of the west to out of the south east and in the space of five minutes she's covered in tree pollen...  :brickwall:
Then i git an idea  :scratchchin: i go grab the leaf blower and problem solved, next, to get rid of all these dang trees...  :RantExplode:

That's what my car looked like last night when I left for home & this morning when I left for work. The snow & wind was so friggin' nad last night that I didn't even make it home from work! :icon_smile_angry: After 4 hours in the car, trying to get home, I finally gave up & stayed at my daughter's house 20 miles away.
I bet I shortened the life of my clutch by at least half during that ordeal. :rotz:

We had a huge flip in the weather too! We were in t-shirt weather, and "BAM" WIND gusts close to 70 mph!!!! There was alot of damage done to carports and other structures allover the Vegas area. We have a two story home, and I could feel the movement while in bed. (No, it was not Chuck!  :nana:) But we did loose power last night, just as I was about to drain fettuccini noodles and finish dinner! :brickwall: It still is windy, but not as strong. only colder!!! Then we go back to 70 this weekend!!! :shruggy:
Weird weather! :yesnod:

Cold weather makes real cool MUDFLAPS. There was so much build up I almost got stuck on a speed bump.

Thats another bad thing about newer vehicles. As the build up increases trim and other plastic parts fall off from the weight of the ice  :P

Grant,

Glad to hear you made it some where to safety.  Fortunately, I stayed home and in the house.  Although, the wind whipped up snow drifts 5 feet high and I couldn't open the garage doors.  I had to clear the front door area three times that night so we would have some way of getting out of the house. 

A pic of the front of our house!

Carl, your house officially looks worse snow-wise than mine does! :o  I ended up over by Cabella's that night & for a minute there, I thought I may just be spending the night there. I was behind a bunch of cars that were stuck in front of me & the snow was actually collecting in drifts around my car as I sat there. I got lucky though & was able to follow a Suburban outta there.
I have a feeling Eagle Mountain will be getting some new roadwork going on this summer. :lol:

Glad to hear you weren't caught out in that, away from home. :thumbs:
