Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Monday morning( 6 AM), it was 55° F. When I left work at 4 PM, it was 63°. Shorts and T-shirt weather in the middle of December. It's supposed to cool off this weekend, but be back up in the 50's next week. I'm really glad I put those studded tires on!

I never thought that made much of a difference more than a mile or two from the beach.

Yesterday or today (I'm not sure which), the east coast was warmer than the west coast, and Arizona was the coldest place in the lower 48.

Winter starts here when the roadies get tired of cycling for the season.

I've been tracking the weather in International Falls, as I'm doing the Arrowhead Ultra late January. A soggy, warm mess with no snow would be horrible.

Speak for yourself, I think it's fantastic.
