Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

We got some flurries today, nothing stuck though. It always started to snow during my ride (to school, and then home from school) but never in between or after.

No natural gas up here.

It's feasible to set up a lunar base if you have enough money. That same observation applies to geothermal heat pump installations, which we researched extensively. At least $35K here. We spent $10K to upgrade to a much more efficient boiler and a small mini split heat pump a/c for our finished basement. The larger heat pump was added later, really it's a new central a/c unit we added to replace the 12 year old one that was sort of giving up the ghost. Also a heat pump.

Sounds like you are on top of the HVAC issue and you have good taste in bikes.

Grumpy deserves all the snow he gets after stealing post 1000 from me!!!!!
Binghamton and all their snow was such a big story it made the local news here in Gainsville last night.
Don't feel bad though, it's rough here too, it didn't get above 60 today and there's a frost warning for tonight.

All things considered though, I'd rather be back home riding my bike indoors.
Florida sux!

We got more. 30-32". Parts of Ulster County (just north of here) got up to 48". Hunter Mountain (Catskills) has gotten 68" in five days.

Yeah, but they didn't mention Chester down here.
Only Binghamtom.

Seriously, it looks like a real mess up there. I have an open ended stay here in Fla, if I didn't hate it down here so much, I might consider staying until April.
But NASCAR and pig farming aren't my favorite topics of discussion when sitting at the bar eating dinner at the local Applebees.

Correct. I doubt I get the local bike path back for 60 days.
