It's snowing. It's APRIL 18TH, in Vancouver, and it's SNOWING! What the FUG is UP with this SNOW?! @___x; There was a bit of hail, even, when I was walking home from work. From here, down to Tacoma, and Everett, and Seattle, possibly?... there's snow. A LOT of it (for us, that is), even, in some areas! For us, this is CRAZY WEATHER! It's supposed to be getting warmer by now. Mother Nature... what's going on!? D:

Oh yeah. I was one of two who did. The rest of the people couldn't handle the conditions which included being soaked to the bone. They were newbies, I have about two years experience annnnd, I'm a bit more used to erm... how bikes react in the elements and how to deal with skids, hydroplaning, and back tires spinning out. And I had better gear.

(my little orange bike did not like it one bit. you've seen it, the little Yamaha with the Autobot decal. It had trouble starting. Hell, all of the bikes did... it was in the negatives out there. Made me long for expensive electrically heated gear, despite wearing my thermals.)

... and then I had to ride home in it. Bleh. [/rant]

Well, congrats for passing the test! ^_^

But yick on the whole experience in general. x.x; Down to the negatives? *shudders*

With windchill? Yeah. It actually hit -2 for an hour down there without windchill, but the wind generally made it feel like it was -5 when it was really 2.

But it's okay. I had a nice long hot shower and a cup of coffee spiked with brandy to warm me right up when I got home.
