Deep Freeze heading into Midwest
Local weather forecast (but not The Weather Channel) is showing bitter cold moving into the upper Midwest next week. Here in Madison three straight nights of lows from -14 to -16, highs around -5. Can't remember if it is going to be Tues-Thurs or Wed-Fri.
This is after tomorrow's snowfall of 6"-9".
So who's going to be out riding in it?
Not I.

In one or two weeks I'll be riding my quad 10 miles out onto Lake Erie to fish for huge walleyes. Let's see some of you gloating fair weather guys do that!

Next week forecasts teens and single digit highs, and single digit negative lows. Snow is on the way. Downright balmy!
Yes, I will be riding in this.

The weather will break over here on Sunday- So rain is expected on Monday and into the 50's.
Normal riding will be resumed- Or may be Sunday if I can defrost the bike.

I remind my mother, who lives in Florida, that when it is -15 F, that is 47 degrees below freezing. She thinks it is bitter cold when there is a frost on the grass.
Coldest it has been since I moved here in '89 was -28 F, or 60 degrees below freezing point. That was very, very cold. I walked out in it, wearing a short sleeve shirt, just to experience how cold it was. Didn't stay out long.

Maybe we shouldn't be planning on spending trillions of dollars to prevent global warming?

Just finished snowblowing the driveway for the 6th time so far this winter. We got 7"-8".
A balmy 20 on Saturday and 25 on Sunday. Will be getting out to enjoy it.
Saturday is our big Bike Swap Meet in Madison. Always lots of goodies there at low prices.

We only got about an inch for this snow. Only about a foot on the ground right now. But that still means I won't be out riding for a while. It never gets quite warm enough to melt the ice and snow on the roads. I can ride when it's cold, but the snow does me in. I really, really, really hate winter.

Maybe I'll wear one of my bike trail shirts ... like my Root River Trail or Sugar River Trail shirts.
