Last Blat of the Year

[Alaskossie]

Yesterday, I thought I should exercise the Seven one more time, with our unseasonably dry roads and no snow -- and with my annual seasonal registration running from April 1 to November 1 only.

 

So I bundled up for the 35-degree weather, and went with half-doors and no top. It was decidedly chilly, but with the heater sending warm air up from under the cowl, my hands stayed fairly warm. Can't say the same for my cheeks, though -- next time, I'll wear a balaclava.

 

Today the forecast is for 2 inches of snow, so it looks like I got my Last Blat in the nick of time.

That's the spirit!

Good for you mate, I'm not done yet. We have our first snow today but I'll be damned if I'm wrapping her up for the year yet. The first inkling of bright sky and we are off to get cold. Winter woolies and a face wrap and I am good to go.

Tom,

 

Your cheeks look a little rosy but the big grin is still there.

 

Winter has started here. Loveland Pass is closed today and there was 1' of snow at the tunnels by 6PM, the snow is expected to continue until Tuesday afternoon. A-basin and Loveland ski areas both opened this weekend. However, the weatherman promised us 70F temps down here on the flatlands by the weekend. Gotta love Denver for the sunny blue sky and warm Fall days.

I had previously driven mine down to -5°C (23°F), but I'm older and wiser now. Mine came off the road early this month.

Gonna be warm this weekend, I'm going out.....:cooldude::driving::driving:

It's going to be 72F here on Friday, I'm headed for a blat on the track.

Just had a wonderful 18C here today in Quebec. Could not resist to go for "one more" last drive of the season

[lancylad]

Out again today, 10c, clear Blue sky, open road and an exhaust note that was intoxicating...................:cooldude:

We have 70 mile rt to an autocross coming up Saturday... reports are that it is will only be in the 60's at 8:00 am.... Thank goodness for sweaters and heaters. Hate it when it is so cold the tires don't heat up until half way through first run. Oh well, it'll be in the upper 70's by afternoon. Gotta tough out the winter blast's!:cheers:

[lancylad]

Gonna be plus 12c this weekend, guess who's seven is on the road. My local RCMP says its only a matter of time before he gets me...he has to figure out which back roads I will take this time..Warm sweater, wool hat, Heater on and away I go................

[KiwiBirkin]

RCMP ???? im assuming its a police officer.... seems strange for one to try and target you or have you baited him

My local RCMP says its only a matter of time before he gets me...

 

 

Sounds like Mr Lancy has been a naughty boy? I am not sure I would be winding up my local police orificer...it can only end up bad for you.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Mounties always get their man!

Here's proof!

For some reason South Park the Movie comes to mind in this thread. In particular that catchy jingle "Blame Canada!"

 

:jester:

 

Bruce - you are wicked!!!

Hoping to head out for a spin tonight and tomorrow night. Its just hovering above freezing. But doors on, coat zipped up, gloves on and a ski-hat and I should be good

[SkinnyG]

Bah. -5°C in mine, no heater, no doors and no top. Bundle warmly!

[MoPho]

It's 90 degrees here today, the best time of the year for driving is just getting started

Colorado's amazing Fall weather continues. Mid 60s today and 75 by Saturday. The weatherman hinted that there may be some rain and possibly snow next week.
