and it is supposed to be in the mid-seventies tomorrow, too. Time to brave getting killed by the hunters and go for a ride!

That's winter? No fair!

I guess we have it somewhat nice (http://www.crh.noaa.gov/forecasts/MNZ060.php?warncounty=MNC053&city=Minneapolis) this week...

Perhaps I should have said "Neener, neener!"

Are you kidding? We are supposed to get freezing rain and snow mix today and tomorrow! Winter ice warning for the next 24 hrs! I was thinking about puting my studded snows on and riding to work tomorrow. I have to ride in traffic and I think about the safety. I rode to work in the last snow storm we had. It was really fun. It took a while because of the crazy drivers, but it was fun.

70s in Texas? Sounds like great weather. Wear Blaze Orange and...Ride, ride, ride! :D

Wow! great Winter!... we're only 107F cooler here in Saskatoon SK!... no really (-29F, but it's a dry cold) :)
I don't have to worry about hunters though - bullets can't penetrate air at these temps :)

We had 78 F a week ago. Now we have Winter Storm warning and ice on everything. Oh well, I rode 20 miles this morning on the studded tires. Man was it serene out in the country with everything covered in crystal. Peaceful. Very Peaceful.

As a fellow who considers himself unlucky, I am comfortable saying that I caught a HUGE break with this hot weather we're getting around here. 60-65 degrees in early January? I picked a great winter to commit to riding full-time. :D

I packed on a good deal of weight during the last two winters. So far since December 1st, I've lost seven pounds. I'm concerned that I might be dropping weight _too_ fast. Just riding five days a week consistently. Base too. Nothing fancy about it. Took a day off Sunday. Went out yesterday and felt as strong as a bull. It's been a great way to get the year started. :)

My condolences. It's sad you'll never enjoy riding in the ice and snow.

I'd say you do! We have been SUB-ZERO for a week now! (or really really close)

Frankly, I wish it would get COLD and stay there a while. One, it'll kill off a bunch of bugs making next Spring and Summer more liveable. Two, I'm all prepared for cold weather, and I wanna ride in the cold again! It's great props when someone stares incredulously as you go by - or asks if it's cold and you say it's just right - or too warm!

Well said, there's something which just can't be beat by riding in crisp -10°F air and being warm. MM, MM GOOD! :)

It's still new enough to me that I'm reveling in that feeling. Whodathunk that I'd be *enjoying* riding when pedestrians and cagers are worried about frostbite? I get on the bus all warmed up, and I start stripping off my layers before I sweat down into a puddle - and its already HOT on the bus!

Today it got to 74F here in Charlotte. I rode to the bus station in t-shirt and jeans. I saw people at the station in full winter garb!! What is up with that???

Aww, sorry! Ummm, we even have the air conditioner on tonite. :D




My condolences. It's sad you'll never enjoy riding in the ice and snow.

Yeah yeah...sounds like real fun. NOT!
:p


EDIT: Oh, well, the high today will be 78 again but tomorrow the high is supposed to be only 38. Got to love these east Texas winters!
