    I almost rode into December but with conditions like this it's time to break down the VFR for winter, here is a couple of pictures of what December brought to the Puget Sound area...

    After the rare snow storm the weather has turned to heavy rain, 7.5" in 24 hours and 13.80 for a 48 hour period :eek: flooding has been going on everywhere up here. I live in a area that's protected from any real danger but we have a small creek that surrounds our property, today is the first time it ever went over our driveway, here is a pic...

    I haven't seen a real snow hear in about four years. I kind of miss it except for the fact that I am riding the bike today.

    well, we finally got some rain. nothing like what you have up there, but what passes for rain down here anyway... it's really more like a steady mist, almost what we would called a sprinkle in MO...

    That's the word the rest of the nation thinks of Californians who whine about how cold 60 degrees is in December :biggrin:

    say what you want, but I think my temp gauge is wrong. I'll keep riding year round just to gauge the accuracy, though, and I'll get back to you in say what March or April when you can ride again? :tongue:
