Thursday and Friday, I had to work 1 - 10 PM. When I got out Thur, it was 50F and I wished I had taken the bike to work. Fri forecast was nearly the same, so I rode to work. When I got out, a north wind from the land of ice had been blowing and it was only around 17F, that's minus a couple digits in C. Had to take a hot shower when I got home to restore the feeling in my fingers and face. I hate riding when it isn't at least 5 degrees above thawing!  Oh, and speaking of work, I got promoted to teamlead and moved to electrical and fashion lighting last month. Then, they asked my to move over to teamlead in tools starting next monday.

At least they're not lying to you about it.

I have to say you've got it pretty good. I will settle for 25 and above. After that...it just starts getting cold. On Thursday, my buddies and I took a ride and were commenting on HOW NICE it felt outside at around 35. 35 is just beautiful.

I would love to have that job(weatherman)!!! Get paid a lot of money to be on TV and be wrong most of the time. At least that's the way it is here in STL.

Hey! You know the rules, no politics!!  It never ceases to amaze me how many times the weather people can be so wrong and keep their jobs. Imagine working in the real world and being so wrong so much of the time? You'd be out on your a$$ in no time!
