Winter storm in Tucson...

Well, as promised, we are experiencing a hellacious winter storm. So far, almost .2" of rain

. But check out the size of the hail with which we were bombarded

Oooohhhhh aaaaahhhhh.

It's funny, I was talking to my buddy in San Diego this morning and he said they were under a winter storm warning and there was a chance of 1 to 2 inches of snow. LMAO!!

About a year ago, we had a hail storm here like I'd never seen before. Hail the size of golf balls, with spikes. I had to get my truck repaired; it looked like someone took a ball peen hammer to the roof and hood. Unreal. Car dealers were having hail sales, the vehicles were more hammered than mine.

We had that up here too, for about a week straight. Real pisser having to wait for the car to warm up and melt it off. Man, I miss my desert, no frost, could get cold. And before you northern boys start ya whinin', it gets down near zero at night sometimes. But, always running in shorts and a t by lunch... From what I have witnessed here on the coast, the rain is just as dangerous to these people as black ice is to the people out east.

All relative.

Sigh................

You guys have it rough...

Bacchus, it looks like you're going to need to be a Subaru to get through all that snow...

*sigh* Toronto doesn't get a whole lot of snow but lately I've noticed the snowbanks are getting to be about 6' tall near my house. Just seeing that tries my patience as I wait for spring. I couldn't even be bothered to shovel out the mess the snowplow left at the base of my driveway yesterday; it was higher than my bumper and ride height but thank goodness I've got AWD which let me plow over/through it. So tell me again about your Arizona sized snowstorm?

Yeah man this weather SUCKS....can't ride my 54 at all. A fellow board member and myself went to Globe with the intent of riding Salt River Canyon, but it was way too cold, and ice on the road usually isn't a good thing for bikes. I hope this damn weather lets up soon, next weekend we ar suppose to go to the dunes.

{edit} Bacchus you should try and get a picture of Mt. Lemmon so the peeps on here can see that it snows in Tucson. I would but my old man took my digi cam with him on his business trip.
