arrrgh. where in the country do you get low precipitation? (I don't care about cold temperatures - actually like them - but it's the rain and snow I can do without.)
Hi mtalinm,
Sorry about that.
Just this morning I was driving on Boylston in Boston, with a few millimeters of packed and fresh snow thinking how the conditions would be perfect for my Marathon Winters, and wishing the snow would have fallen tomorrow on a commuting work day.
IMO, one of the benefits of riding in bad weather, especially the Winter, is that one becomes more tolerant of the weather, and not as dismayed by it.

I'm surprised
tsl did not beat me to it.
