I have friends who ski and love it as much as I do cycling. Most would argue this. Well, maybe not the ice part, but they sure are eager for snow and hate to see it go. Personally, I don't get it. Nor, have I ever thought those who say, "Oh, I wouldn't want to live someplace that was warm all of the time. I like having the four seasons" was anything more than a form of delusional denial.

Stapfam, had to get my warmer gear out too. This morning's commute to work starts with the temp at 6 C. Thing I can't locate yet is where I've put the light weight goretex gloves.
