Utah weather’s killin Me!!!!

Post by Kingkoa1 »

Well afterA week straight of hot sweaty weather including yesterday, i rode my cruiser to work again and the weather channel said there might be a slight chance for rain, no biggie right?! Wrong again😵💫😵 half way to work i get snow flakes on my visor, and not it’s like a mini blizzard 🥶 wtf where’s that ground hog 😂 he lied to me…. Again
Oh well I’ve been riding all winter anyways, just can’t stand leaving my bike parked, has some silly close calls too, nothing a a strong cup of cocoa won’t fix hehehe…
Anybody else having the same issues? :bonk: :bang: :bang: [Image

Flagstaff AZ is in the ballpark. Taken last week during a coast-to-coast ride I did. Ran into 20 degrees and snow!

82 and sunny here in Jersey.
If you have any type of electrical issue, have your battery load tested before you do anything else. Any auto parts store will test it for free.

I peruse their forecast also. :space: Right after I get the Forecast/Predictions from Weather Bug
www.weatherbug.com

What I have found is that they are a bit more accurate in their prediction descriptions than Weather Underground...... sometimes by a lot! :blink:

So,.... you might want to give them a try.

One more thing, when it is said that there is a 20-30-40-whatever % chance of precipitation,....they are referring to a percent of the AREA that will get rained/snowed on,....Not a percent of chance every where in the forecasting area.

It's always good to view the Map to see if the Incoming Front will mainly affect the south or north of the place you live in.

Your Utah weather sounds like a lot like Louisiana weather, Down here in the deep south if you don't like the weather hang around for 10 more minutes, it's going to change :ShitGrinandThumb:
