Ours was over yesterday - high of 70°F. Of course, it's only supposed to hit 63° today. Still kinda nippy.

Guess Austin's winter isn't quite gone. It was 26° on the ride to work today. The ride home will be about 75°.

31/58 - That's good WX! Just cold enough to keep the HDs off the road.

Sounds like from the "gist" of this thread, I better cancel the February 1st NW MT ralleye. Haven't heard from end-of-the-road North Idaho "Roadie" on the board in months. I hope they stocked in lots of vittles last November  jh
