    I've lived in the area of SE WI/NE IL for 55 years and can remember many April/May blizzards...


    If you don't like the weather here, wait 10 minutes, it'll change.


    Mother Nature giving us ! more whack before she lets Father Winter exit the stage - she's the boss.


    Seriously sucks though...

    Ouch!

    Gonna be 82 today, slight cool breeze from the Delta.

    Up early, sons HPP at Ford for $49.00 Motorcraft oil change, waxed the Red Sled, and it is only 9:19 AM.

    Having second cup of coffee on back patioi barefoot, in shorts and tee. It is 68 and with the refreshing breeze it is a little chili. My piggies are cold... Think I will go get some socks!

    The weather is crazy......

    Last fall. here in north Jersey, the cooler temps took so long to arrive that my town had to extend it's leaf pick-up program. In Nov/Dec, it was too warm to snow, so we got bombed with rain (thank goodness).

    This past winter, we had two really cold spells, but they were short-lived. I used my snow-blower once all season, but I did shovel a few times (accumulation wasn't much).

    On a somewhat related note, the US Army Corps of Engineers is working on a report outlining alternatives to protecting NY City and NJ from floods caused by severe storms (hurricane Sandy) and rising sea waters.

    As a guy brought up in the 50's living atop the Palisades Cliffs looking down on the Hudson, and spending his last ten years working for a firm located on the Hudson waterfront in NJ, that's more than a bit concerning.

    Spring Jefferson weather always sucks!
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard
