It won't stop me from riding to work but I will admit that I went out and bought a full face helmet and dug out my old pair of gauntlet gloves.

This weather is awesome. I was in shorts outside my house about 15 minutes ago. I wish it was this cool all the time. Love it, Love it, Love it. I know, I'm crazy.

How long you been here? (It's called W I N T E R!)
Don't like the temoerature? Try Michigan.........Minnesota.........
Chicago is always temperate. Buffallo may suit you better.
PUT ON A COAT.......gloves and maybe a helmet and ride (Brrrrrrr,
going to be 55 tomorrow!!!!).
It will be HOT soon......then what will you have to say?

Yeah its been cold in Phoenix as well the last month. Lows in the 30's and highs in the mid50's to mid 60's. I know you folks up north are laughing, but trust me, those temp's coupled with our low humidity make for some very cold rides even in Arizona....of course, I wouldnt trade it for that Florida humidity which is absolutely awful. I'll take 110 here and no humidity over that 85 and 100% humidity you get in Florida anyday!!!

mnvikingsfan, I'm gonna have to have you talk to my lady, as I'm partial to Prescott.

We've had highs of 5 degrees the past few days in southern Mn. Double digits below zero in northern Mn.

Yesterday my garage was down to 15 degrees, but theslush that had melted and dripped off the car earlier on the floor was still liquid, as it had so much salt in it.
