Baby, It's COLD outside!
« on: January 05, 2015, 06:36:18 AM »
5:30 am today, it's -3F and on the way in to work today I spotted a guy on a dirt bike riding down the road ahead of me!  DANG!  Wondering how far this guy was riding in that cold.  Surprised it even started.

Same in A2. You won't catch me complaining though, this is nothing compared to last winter.. which sucked to say the least.  :)

There is some fellow around here that has ridden a moped trike to work and back last winter and this winter as well. I saw him coming the other way this morning, it was 1 deg F so he no doubt was having a chilly ride.
