Snow.... before Haloween?????
« on: October 28, 2011, 07:46:32 PM »
Here in southern New England, snow is unusual before Thanksgiving, never mind Halloween (31 October). But the forecast is calling for a Nor'easter (typical storm for this area) but because the temperature has taken a dive, it looks like the normal rain is going to be white and sticky (easy boys!). I am sure this is Kawasaki's or KiPass's fault somehow. Still, I am going to change the batteries in both fobs in the hope that KiPass can at least dump our snow in MA (sorry to you Massachusettites). Looks like I am going to have to move the snow blower out behind the tractor long before I expected to have too.

Not to worry Steve, Honda and KiPass are on the job should snow accumulate. This is KiPass on a Honda snow blower....

Even here 40 miles west of DC in Northern Virginia I am looking at sleet and ice on the cars, grass, outdoor furniture, etc.  Just raining now with the occassional ice pellets mixed in.

Just raining here in South Jersey, but, the forcast is calling for an inch or so of snow overnight. Time to gear up and head out for a ride.

We have a cold front moving through, light rain and 67. Will be about 70 with dew point sliding to around 50  this evening for the neighbor's garage/driveway based Halloween party.

A pic of yours truly and my wifey Margie, enjoying a  pre party beer at last year's Halloween festivities.

For anybody in VA that know Winchester area.  A buddy of mine lives on a mountain top off rt 50 headed away from Winchester almost to West Virginia.  He texted me a pic standing on his deck with the ruler stuck in the snow.  11 inches and still coming down pretty good.  Then he sent me a pic of him sitting on the couch, crown & coke in hand, and a fire going in the fireplace.  I actually got jealous.

The fob battery in the pic must be bad. The gas tank is only half full.

Optimum power to weight ratio; the fob never lets the fuel level fall below half.

6:30 Sat. night and not the first flake here. Quite a bit of snow reported in CT but nothing this far east yet.

That global warming just isn't working really well is it? [rhetorical question]

We ended up with 3" or 4" here and all of it melted today. Kirby was right- KiPass took care of everything.
