More snow too. It was too slushy today. It was muddy in some places. The temp was about 32f it had been warmer during the day. I want about 25F for better riding with the studded tires.

Oh well, any ride is a good ride! :)

Personally I'd love an early (long and dry) spring. That said I'd really like it if mother nature would $h!t or get off the pot this year. I want about 25F for better riding with the studded tires. You're damn right on that one.

I agree, clean dry roads everywhere, or snow and ice everywhere no more of this halfway stuff.!

You can't do anything in this weather. I'm even afraid to step out on the lakes. We won't have cold weather for at least a week to come.

No, it's not global warming...

I want it to either be warm enough to take out the road bike for a 50-miler or snowy enough that I can do some cross country skiing. The only advantage to the current conditions here in Wisconsin are that I don't need quite as many layers. :rolleyes:

Nice pictures even though it's a sloppy mess. That soup is always a pain to plow through. There's a sweet spot with studs that's a combinations of temperature and road condition that just like gliding, and you don't notice the weight.

That's pretty nasty. That's not me in the picture. Light rain, +2C/35F. The brizzles in the ice normally providing traction have melted. The road is sanded, so it can be driven. Were it without sanding, i'm not sure. Sorry, wrong thread, can someone move this to the nasty ice thread?
