Gusts to 30 mph. Freezing temps. That's all I have to say.

LOL, ya SPRING SUCKS in the CO. Front Range and the Pikes Peak Region, we've had the same crud as you guys, with just a bit less SNOW! We did get out today for a 34 mile ride, just the wife and I but it was still "windy and cloudy" but warmer and we didn't get rain! Suppose to SNOW again tonight, RATS!! They shouldn't list "SPRING" on our calendars till Memorial Day Weekend!

I thought the wind jacket and arm warmers were done for the season and put them away..... until this afternoon

Old Man Winter is dying, but not fast enough for me. Perhaps we could put out a "contract" on him. I would probably kick in a few bucks for that endeavor if we could lay hands on the old rapscallion.

According to the local weather dude, it's supposed to get down to 39 F this Tuesday morning. That's just not right. And if I had snow like you guys have, I'd be apoplectic.

We're to have another windy, wet, cold week in the far northern US Rockies. Mother Nature keeps teasing us with one or two mild days then abruptly changes the weather pattern, bringing back windy, cold, wet weather. I'm ready for consistently warm, sunny weather.

Snow expected in the Adirondacks tonight. Doesn't really effect me - I've been laid up with the crud for the last 4 days.

From: Tucson, AZ

Bikes: Custom Zona c/f tandem + Scott Plasma single

While we usually get some strong winds in souther AZ in springtime, it's been exceptionally windy the past 2 months.
Gusts of 40 to 50 mph today.
Here the weatherman says 'breezy' and found out they do not use the term 'windy' unless it's more than 25 mph sustained winds.
Temps been all over the place too. Have reached 89 degrees twice so far and then back down to 50s/60s.
Also had our first couple of wildfires already.
Rode the Tour of the Tucson Mounbtains on single bike last Sunday and shamelessly drafted a couple tandems in the headwind sections!
