I'd move to an island in the pacific and deal with rain instead ... warm rain that is ...

It feels like we have had 2ft of rain in the past week... more like 8 inches of steam making most areas inaccessible. A few years ago we had 137 inches in the space of 5 weeks in the rain gauge - close to 2ft per week plus run-off from just about everywhere else. It was an interesting time using boats to get around and the punt to move vehicles in and out. Access roads were closed for about 8 weeks with a peak of 13ft over the causeway and it took nearly two years for the surrounding country to dry out properly.

Bet that was all interesting .... but I'd say wrong island ... We get rain here most days or night or both but just a quick down pour for ~less than an hour or just light drizzle for a few hours ... No monsoons ... It does cause flooding to some degree in the mountains and the runoff from up top does add up on the bottom ...

We rode across that river in the last pic about 2.5 hrs before it rose to the height U see in that pic...

Not an island... a desert in the tropics. Normally we'd also expect afternoon thunderstorms that last a couple of hours with a bit of a dump and water over the causeway to a depth of 18" or so mid way through the season. That year was a bit freaky.

Got another dump of snow ....more to come on the weekend . Oh well ...will just have to wait for the roads to clean up a bit and I can still sneak out!

Wouldn't this fit better in the Main forum? I'm not quite sure what it has to do with a 610/630?

But so far it has been a cold year here too.

The UK is not used too it snowing every winter but is realising slowly that it's too be expected now. Scotland has been caught off guard this winter as they don't seem too be able too make any deliveries in time for Christmas and the whole country is due more snow over the next week.

A foot of snow will close down the whole country easily! The majority of drivers (think 80%) cannot drive on snow or ice and stay well off the roads. If anyone knows of any great tyres for an SMS630 for snow and ice covered UK roads it'd be most appreciated as driving the car is getting boring as hell!

I'd suggest your favourite full knobs with studs, but they might not be legal over there.

We have had record rainfall here...

 

[Flying Trash Can]

I could put some sunshine in a box and mail it to you... Would that pep ya up some?

21*f and snowing here in VA.

We have had record rainfall here...

I'm glad I spent time in the PNW, not that I like snow but GPNF is great riding ... But, it is nearing the end of the rainy season here and ~6 months of straight sunshine should be in store ... I gotta get a new camera for recording what's about to happen ...

What can I say 25 C here today with a ride on the Multistrada tomorrow and the 310 on Sunday. Bit of a hard weekend but someone has to do it right.

Record high temperatures here yesterday, 10 degC. No snow yet! Norm for this time of the year is 0 to -5 C and two feet of snow. Local ski hill normally opens boxing day but with the mild weather they can't make any snow. We may be in for the first ever green Christmas!
