5F yesterday at Sunrise that rose to alittle over 50F for about an hour before dropping again.
Today it is currently a toasty 18F and supposed to hit 55F about the time I will be at Bike Night.  :D

Is there anything more fun than riding? They are between your legs and are quiet when you turn them off.

Same deal over here in the Piedmont.

We're getting a few waves of snow this weekend, and today was our coldest high temp for the whole winter. Not like I whine about 18 for  a high,  but more better colder snowy weather heading  on the way for you guys back east.

Tejanos on Ice. That could be a new metaphor, like train wreck.


We got a nice combination of drizzle and melt to where everything has a nice super slick crust on it. Reminds me of Juneau.

Stev-o sure you can drive on ice you just have to on top of your game and have practiced
when I was younger I used to find icy parking lots that were empty and go do spins, turns and stops to refresh and then I'd have less trouble in the winter. Same as for the bike some place empty and icy then doughnuts, slides, wheelies, and so on.

I must have put 100 miles on the dt 50 in the last two days and the weather was better today. Spring is comming in like a freight train, and i feel like I'm behind on everything, especially a maintained running tagged bike that I can flogg without worries. #$%*ing lawyer is wasting all my time with an endless stream of bovine excrement.

Trend is for warmer weather now... but still have to melt all the poop-infused snow. About 6 feet of it.

Still cold in upstate NY, 11 degrees this morning, been high winds for 2 days that finally faded away
this afternoon. Looking at snow coming for the weekend when the rest of the country is starting spring mode . I'm jealous.

temp trend is moving slightly upwards here... hope that stays! We beat our snowfall record this year. Previous record was 1963 (424cm). This year we've had over 470cm.
