"Perma-Gray" for Cormanus

[the Ferret]

The other day in a thread I mentioned Perma-Gray. It's a condition us Midwestern folks go thru from November to March when the skies are almost always overcast and the sun rarely peaks through. Bright sunny blue bird skies with white puffy clouds are rare days. Usually it's more like the following pics which I took on today's ride.

typical midwestern sky in November..December..January..February lol

Skies like this can be dry..OR rain or snow depending on the temp. It was dry from sun up until 2. Is supposed to start raining about 3PM and turning to snow flurries about 5 pm when the temp drops. Today we get it all.

Notice there are no shadows. This is middle of the day 1:45 ish

I think the gauges say 1:48 PM 46 degrees and I had gone 89 miles at this point and am about 5 miles from home. Also noticed I turned over 64,000 miles on the ST on yesterdays ride. Still can't find that 6th gear lol
