Spyderfest Weather?

[boomboom1]

Being a Florida boy, I must admit I am a bit anxious about what the weather conditions may be during Spyderfest. Today's weather said that snow was possible! OMG. Any recommendations on what type of clothing to bring? Thanks for your help.

No snow, they are having thunderstorms the rest of tonight. Highs in the mid 70's with lows in the 40's so should be great riding weather.:trike:

from west central Minnesota and for the next 24 hours we are in a WINTER STORM WARNING, 8 TO 12 inches of snow . Will be leaving for Spyderfest in less than 10 days. SOOOO, whatever the weather is down there will be a MAJOR improvement. I am leaving here in snowmobile gear plus heated gloves and vest. I will bring clothes for every type and temp of weather possible, learned the hard way too many times. LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE, here we come Spyderfest.

I've got my snowmobile gear ready... just in case!

This ole Flarda boy has never seen "real live snow". I'm not worried about it as much as those darn ole tornados.

Right now that area and northern Arkansas is having severe storms, hale, heavy rain and a tornado has been reported in Clinton, Arkansas. Was just discussing this today with the wife. Well, it's not up to us anyway is it???

Have ridden up to Spyderfest in the rain, and the Fest was sunny and nice. Have ridden up with sun, and it rained a day. It is was it is.

Per WeatherBug, Sunday will be high of 71, low of 53, partly cloudy. Monday will be high of 71, low of 56, partly cloudy. It only gives a seven day forecast. To me, it looks like all our prayers have been answered for good weather.

I'm bringing electric underwear and rain gear, hoping not to use them...

Weather Channel says low to mid 40's at night.

 

[JCSMOKE]

I'll be using liquid heating products at the camp site.

 

[bruiser]

We don't have heated gear. But we'll bring long handles warm clothes and rain gear.

Www.weather.com

Put in Springfield, MO when that loads, go to left side and click '10 Day'.
Then you will see the forecast for the next 10 days.....which is subject to change.

OK, If Len hasn't put someone in charge of weather that is a serious oversight!

You would have thought that SOMEONE would have thought of it!

Well, SpyderFest would be a LOT more expensive if we had to control the weather!

Come prepared for anything... last year (out first SF) the first day was warm & sunny, then cool and a bit misty/rainy, and KCPete and I rode home in 40-50 temps with rain! Spring has been a bit late coming to Missouri this year, but it should be nice & green that week and probably some of the spring flowers still with us!

Welcome to Missouri!

This is the extended forecast for the remainder of the month of April in Springfield complements of AccuWeather. Subject to change of course. This is after all the mid-west.

Let's see...if I remember right last year it was almost mid-80s on Wednesday and was low 50s and storming on Friday. Rain gear is probably more important that anything. It would be unusual, but not unheard of to have lows in the 40s in the morning. Count on more 50s as lows, most likely. Love using AccuWeather.com to keep an eye on it more than 7 days ahead.

Word of caution, don't wear electric underwear in the rain, your nose may light up and then you would be mistaken for Rudolph and any deer down south is fair game.

I remember one day (I think it was 2 days in a row) that it got cold and had to bundle up with a few layers. The rains last year wasn't as bad as in Spyderfest '11. But yes, for all you 1st time Spyderfest-ers... take a few layers of clothing and your rain gear... it will come in handy!
