Wow, it's a whole 19F (-7c) out. If the roads weren't so slick I might ride to work.
It was -4F (-20c) when I got home last night. Had to use 4WD a few times and was nearly home before the heater started really warming up.

41 here in Florida and dropping to 31. That's nothing, but with winds steady from the NNW @ 18 mph and gusts of 35 mph, that's too c-c-c-cold for my thin blood. I've got nothing but asphalt and 4 miles of open water to the N of me, so when I step outside, I feel every bit of that wind.

I haven't heard a bike all day. Even the American Legion riders must have cancelled their regular Saturday ride and hunkered down over their beers instead.

Brrr, it's 25F colder than normal where I live too, been that way for awhile. We need to generate Green House Gases more efficiently, to make up for this lull with the Sun s heat output. Something about a Solar Minimum = fewer Sun Spots? I think I'll hire some newly arrived citizens and start a Fire Wood business.

A cool 14 degrees here in SE Iowa. But it's supposed to rise to the mid 40s by tuesday and I hope to get the bike out for a lil bit after work. (Then again, there is a chance of snow on Monday and a chance of rain on Tuesday.) (But still again, precipitation forcasts around here are lousy, with the weather guys being right less than 20% of the time!)

These swings in weather are normal here in Indiana. The proper attitude is,"Whatever." 4 inches of snow Wade!!! now all you need is a Yak thong, converse tennis shoes, a beanie hat, and a trash can lid. Go find that mountain!!!

Go for it

Dang, Mr. Bill that boy is WAY overdressed !
I had a problem today with my patented Yak fur thong getting all packed with dirty snow sliding bare derrière down the slopes.
Some kids were snickering and pointing, I think they thought I had an geriatric accident.

We are feeling porly fo you thin blooded southerners

No really thats crazy cold for the south. Friends who are in Brownsville in their RV are glad I gave them a 1500 watt space heater they can use in the RV park rather than eating up all their propane to keep warm.

Mid 60's here in San Diego with a bit of rain. We can see that white stuff on the top of the mountains in the distance.
