Well, Sunday it was sunny and 36 so I rode. Monday it was 46, cloudy, and humid so I rode in the morning. Tuesday night it absolutely poured down rain and then quick froze over night in a blizzard. Last night, we got an additional 8 inches. It sucks, but every two to three weeks there is a break in the weather and I get to ride. I keep my sanity that way. You have to stretch your standards temp wise to get a ride in. I now consider anything over 33* with 80% clean roads riding weather. If I had some more winter gear, I'd ride in colder.

We have gotten two feet of snow in the last 10 days... TWO FRIGGIN FEET. If you have ever been in that kind of weather...you know what a mess that is. my bike hasnt moved in almost two months.....and I probably have another two months to go. We have had the winter from HELL here in the Northwest <slapping forehead>....I cant go this long without riding my bike.

We've been getting nasty ice storms here in Pittsburgh, and plenty of snowfall. It's actually pretty nice today though, but my bike is in pieces and I don't feel like putting it back together.

I cant get any of my avatars to pop up, so im going to have to put one of the ones they have for you up. Oh well. Im in Mo. and we just got rid of a nice heat wave last week, now its thunder and lightening, and sleeting too. Tomorrow it'll be 57* I dont understand the weather but its cool, to ride in every once in a while
