Title: Re: Brrr -- It's cold Post by: zarn02 on January 15, 2012, 12:24:15 AM It got up to almost 50° today. If it'd gotten into the 50s I think I'd have gone out.
(I've turned into a total ninny. I used to consider anything above 30-35° decent enough to ride.) Of course if I'd ridden, I'd have had to have braved the ice patches and the sand and the road salt...

Still snow on the ground in places. In town is a disaster. Just a minefield of ice, sand, and grime. But the highways were fine. Title: Re: Brrr -- It's cold Post by: supperduc on January 15, 2012, 04:30:18 PM "Nearly 60° with snow on the ground and minefield of ice?"
Hmm...must be some kind of special snow and ice! :o Title: Re: Brrr -- It's cold Post by: zarn02 on January 15, 2012, 05:41:08 PM "Nearly 60° with snow on the ground and minefield of ice?" Hmm...must be some kind of special snow and ice! :o This weekend was a bit of a fluke. It hasn't been that warm, and at night it drops down into the teens or twenties again. The ice patches are in shadowed areas that aren't getting enough sun to warm up and melt. Title: Re: Brrr -- It's cold Post by: mickyvee on January 16, 2012, 11:01:07 AM [thumbsdown] It was -12C last night. It reached a balmy +1 during the day, though. The bike is staying garaged until March at the earliest. I am an unapologetic wuss!
