Had new rear tire installed today.  35 degrees on the way to the shop, but 55 and sunny this afternoon.  Many bikes out.  A few near 70 days so far that were good and buds are on the trees.

Here is what Northern Virginia looked like yesterday. 40 degrees, 15-25mph winds, but dry and sunny. This was taken along a nice little road in Clifton a few minutes away from my house, no Deals Gap, but some nice twisties and beautiful sites for a few lightly trafficked miles.

The weather man is teasing me, we still have to much snow but he says posibly 40's and rain next week which will take care of the snow. but thats what he has been saying for the last two weeks. I still ride my xl250 to school and back every day though. ;D

I agree Tramp, I'm all done with snow too.

Here's a snow cave I build last weekend for my 2 year old in front of my house at the side of the driveway.

I live in Minnesota. It's not that bad. Just hate all the other drivers on the road that have been living here forever and forget their @$$ everytime it snows.

youre right about that. people are either out to prove that they are super bad or they are out because they absolutely have to be and that means 35mph on the highway. people need to keep their cool and just drive.

srust,

I have to ask, what were you doing up on a snowy roof?

We've pretty much lost all our snow. All that's left if piles from snow blowing or shoveling. Of course that status is subject to change for at least another 4 weeks. :-\

I predict that I will see a drastic increase in temperatures very soon. Ofcourse that is because I leave Friday morning for a 2 week stint in Florida!!!
