YEAH more snow this morning. I can deal with the cold to a point but not the icy roads. But several hours at 25 degrees and 20+mph winds is pretty much unbearable for me. After 2 hrs my feet are frozen and I use the foot warmers. Tomorrow isn't looking good either, hopefully sunday I can get out for a nice long ride.

studded tires are pretty darn fun. I had a great time riding today.
oh, btw, that video was pretty dumb, but seeing you cycling saved it!

I hear you loud and clear. The weather in Maryland sucks just as much, if not more. Last night we got three more inches of snow and it has been non-stop frigid wind for days on end. This weekend high temps will not get past 30 degrees F.
On the bright side, I've started moving through my Netflix "Instant" queue, watching movies on the laptop while on the rollers.
Starship Troopers today!

There wasn't any snow on the ground here when you originally posted this. Now there is, it hasn't stopped for three days now. So I'll echo your comment:
STUPID SNOW!
But the kids and I did have a good time playing in it with four wheelers and saucer sleds!

WCroadie, I went out with two fellow-WCCC riders and also did a 2 1/2 hour ride today. Only a few icy spots...but it was cold. Gradual warming trend this coming week!

We ran into Viktor on 842 as he was heading home, were you with him earlier by any chance? Yes almost 50 on Friday but the temps dip for the weekend, still I will take a high of 40 over 25 any day.

Absolutely, the roads were snow and ice free for the most part, my driveway melted later in the day as the hit it. Thanks, that's my beater bike as the madone hangs on the wall until the weather gets better.

I was with Viktor on Sunday, I couldn't ride on saturday since I had to work. BTW you are welcome to join our little 50 mile show/go ride tomorrow (wednesday) if you are interested.
. Should be decent weather. Enjoy!

Nice, what tires are you riding? I can't do that in my conti 4000s.
700x35 knobby Kenda cross tires. They go a long way towards keeping me off the trainer.
