No room inside?  Hate seeing good bikes out in the weather.

   Pffft... That's not a storm, that's a dusting compared to what we endured in eastern MA last winter. On 3 different storms I spent 8 hours or more shoveling just to get my car and van freed up, and I'm not getting any younger...though shoveling might be helping me stay young. Lost a day of double-time pay because of one of those damn storms too...

no not cabin fever, I spent 17 years living at 8500' elevation in Vail Colorado. Lots of snow, 300" a year, if you leave it it just becomes ice. Then you get water damage and it cost you more.

Here in S.E. Michigan we had sunshine all day.  Last year was a totally different story.  Don't envy those out east.

Beautiful day on the Front Range of Colorado at 7000'. Beautiful blue skies today and no snow at 68 degrees.  ;D MANY bikes out and about. Happens every January. With that I will say it was -20F last night in Gunnison with lots of snow in the mountains.
