This weather is starting to remind me of last spring......RAIN! At least we're not getting the snow, but the rain and the cold really suck. Don't thinkI could take it if it were snow. I'm planning on getting out tomorrow for a couple of hours before the monsoon comes for next week.

Albany NY area here. No snow accumulation but pretty cold andgray out there. The thing is, we were riding in December and January. Sunny and 70s in January and we've been on this miserable weather slide downhill ever since.

It's nice to be centrally located (Oklahoma). It's only a 2,000 mile ride to New England from here.

Dog, I'm next door to you in New Brunswick and if you go back 3 or 4 years ago, this was normal weather for us, then we would have a half decent Summer and Fall. But the last 3 years we've had a good April and then pretty much the rest of the Spring and Summer sucked. Look at Laconia Bike Week, last year wasn't too bad, but the 3 Rallies before that, the weather was a bust. So I figure maybe things are going back to normal this year, some snow in April and thenwe'll actually have a great riding season.........................uhhh, but don't hold me to that
