Default Just thought winter was done..

Crap, here in the Upper Mid Central state of IND, thought winter was over and spring was coming on strong..

Wrong, its 4pm now and 38* outside with 25 mph winds and spitting snow flakes...

Oh well, they're saying it will get in the 60's again next Mon and next Fri.

Yep.....
In Chicago we had well over 6" of rain in 24 hours, no I saw snow today! My bike is at my parents house, so the urge to ride is less......but a 75 degree Saturday morning is what I'm dying for!

You guys are getting what just came through here. We've been in a winter storm track the last 2 weeks. We didn't get near the amounts of snow predicted cuz the moisture didn't come up from the Gulf. But you guys sure are!! Gonna ride this evening!!

It won't make you feel any better but it is not all peaches 'n cream down in the south, either.

A few days ago it was 93* here in the Texas hill country (central Texas). This morning was 34* and only got into the low 60's. Tomorrow morning will be the same and warm up a few degrees more.

Granted, I could still ride this afternoon but just noting it is atypical weather here as well. You're tired of the precipitation and I'm doing rain dances. I'm guessing your heart is breaking for us down south.
