Re: Solvang Weather report is IN
May the weather Gods smile upon you! I did see that we here in the Northwest had higher temps over the weekend than LA did! How often does that happen! It's been years since I've been able to go to Solvang... did it back in the late '80's, and my parents who were visiting me followed along in their Dodge Caravan. The show then was nothing like it is now; I think we had maybe 25 cars and we parked in a parking lot, not in town as I recall, and it was one day. Shoot, maybe next year... Have tons of fun you all!!!!!

Re: Solvang Weather report is IN
Yeah, with weather sites, it's pick your poison. Like local broadcasts, they're all different. I like 75 better, so i'm going with yours!

I think now that Brisco is here, the weather is falling into order... I know my roadster seems to be running a lot smoother these last few days...

Weather is amazing. We drove up through 3000 feet of fog to Mariposa Grove, it cleared just as we reached the park.

Re: Solvang Weather report is IN
I know they asked for volunteers to help count ballots because so many people registered. So that's gotta be good, right? I volunteered because I won't have my car there this year.
But I'm happy to help and see everyone!
