I haven't ridden since October and if I'm lucky I'll get to finally ride in April. I always wait for several good rains to wash the layers of salt off the roads before my bike comes out

Had a ball.
I rode in 17 degree weather once. Then I woke up and realized it was a dream. You must have cryoencephalitis.

Besides, you're in Idaho. You'll be posting the same thing in April.

If you're looking for sympathy, keep it in Texas. These comments do make us folks up north chuckle.

There's a foot of snow on the ground here. The roads are snow packed, no ice. It hasn't gotten warm enough to melt enough to turn into ice. The other day it was 0°F at noon. Today it got up 20°, I almost put my shorts on haha!

I don't mind the cold.. And if it's going to mist, I wish it would go ahead and rain. We still need it here. Lake Travis is down 60%. Water restrictions. And people still b itch about the rain..

Oh I know...we've ridden past Lake Travis several times last summer and it's a crying shame how low it is. I just wonder if it'll ever get back to the way it was?

Get off your lazy a$$ and find something productive to do...

Read a book, take a class, converse with family/friends, weave a basket...you get the point. Sometimes you need to look beyond the materialistic things.

Hey op you live in one of the most drought ravaged states in America. I can understand cabin fever but try to see the bigger picture. You should be welcoming the rain.
