Don't they need you to work from home in say, eastern TN or northern AL, in places where winter lasts about 8-10 weeks, and most snowfalls are guaranteed to melt in 48 hours or less?
I am sorry to say that here in Middle TN we have actually had a winter this year. Lots of snow, rain, and cold. I haven't been on the bike for 3 weeks. It is usually in the 40's and 50's most of the winter.
