Good thing I'm on vacation.
I'll be sure to post a ride report from Palomar tomorrow and the weekend--supposed to be 80's all week!
I miss NY already...

You do realize it is going to get colder before it gets warmer...
I am looking forward to some tele-skiing and snow shoeing...

Snow? That stuff in the little glass balls that floats around when you shake them?
How very odd.

Nice and warm.
Last week when our weather took a nose dive it hit 15F at night and warmed up to a balmy 28F for several days. My sprinkler system was not thrilled.

I'm hoping it gets above 40 for my ride this afternoon at 3:00. But it is dry--so far.

Hey pcad - I grew up down the road from you (Plattekill) and usually miss it - except for right now. Hopefully we've got at least another month before we should see any of the white stuff out here in STL.

Well they need to start building up that 25" base over at Mt. Peter--might as well start early. That's some good slidin' right there.

It already snowed here Saturday night. Three inches on the ground Sunday morning.
Of course, it was warm, sunny, and dry on Monday.
