When I read your title to this thread, I was thinking "COOL!  Now I'll have a decent place to ride!!"
And I see you're just complaining about "our" cold air infiltrating your space.  Well.... I'm gonna be complaining about those Canuckleheads up north of me releasing too much south of their border.  I hate winter, come on SPRING!

Problem is most of my #$%*ty weather comes from the states only when there is a major storm on the east coast do we get wrap around "east winds blow no good" is the old folk wisdom, but like I say most of the stuff comes up from your prairies.

Beautiful and warm here in the San Francisco area too, but I wish it would rain so everyone could shut up about the drought.  We broke high-temperature records yesterday!

The defrosting jet on the pond works well, but the ice was sinking the floater.

This is the second year in a row that there have been below zero F temps and windchills in the PA,MD, VA area, 6 inches of snow last night and the roads were not plowed until 8 a.m. . I hope this isn't becoming  a trend.  :-\
