You're right, a Canadian low was almost down to the Florida border. It's in the upper 50's today.

Cut a hole and see how thick the ice is.

I moved from Chicago to Virginia just to avoid crappy cold weather. It snowed in Richmond yesterday. I can't win, but I'm glad you damn Yankee's are pulling your bikes out of the garage and enjoying them. Nice picture by the way.

I went out on Saturday for a bit, didn't get very far. Then again I don't have a windshield or fairing - but still, ****ing cold.

Way too cold to be riding an open bike. I have full fairing plus lowers to tuck my feet into and an oversize windshield, and after a little more than three hours at 40 F I was done.

I did run into an older guy when I stopped for lunch Friday who was riding some sort of big Yamaha V-twin with full heated gear - gloves, socks, jacket and pants. I guess that works OK, but would be too much trouble for me, I think.
