Who is out and about enjoying this amazingly warm January we are having? I went riding last night and the only winter gear I wore were my wool socks. We seem to be having warmer and warmer Januarys.

i went riding and ate a pint of cake batter ice cream. it was good.

this warm weather is actually really freaking me out. i hate unseasonable weather, but then again, i'm a new englander and can even complain about beautiful weather.

This weather blows hard. Above freezing temperatures mean that, even with fenders, my bike gets covered with the water/sand/road salt mixture more than usual.

i love it. i mean, it's a manifestation of some really ****ed up weather/climate ****, but yesterday i did thirty miles before work in 60 degree weather. what the hell? you tell me. it's great. reminds me of spring. too bad we'll have a few months of miserable weather after this tease.

amen to that! But its also true that even with out rain, the snow-melt is making for wet rides.
But I'm not complaining.

I am. Loudly and frequently.

It sucks. Give me real seasons. I feel like I'm living in some meteorologist's "interesting" script.

All this rain means we've got some drought to look forward to, and the melting-freezing cycle destroys pretty much everything. Many millions extra for more road repair than usual. Wonderful.

You killed my Warm Weather Buzz, man!!

Ahmen to that. Here I thought this weather was great and my mood was soaring thru the roof.

I guess the internet told me to be sad so I'll be sad.

thats a really good point. but i would rather have 60 degree winters than snowy freezing winters.

is this what paradise is like?

but yea, we just set the record for chicago 2 days ago at 60 degrees. its starting to get colder again though so me buying gloves/facemask isnt wasted i guess
