You know it's cold when you rode her for 30 minutes and she still read only between 1 and 2 bars. DC Area...
Wind speed (my speed) = 75 mph

Wednesday 56 ride all day if you can (i had to work :'()
Thursday 23 snow lots of snow
Friday 18 wind chill -3 cold
we went from fall to winter overnight
78 degrees here today, almost had to put jacket on. And long pants.
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...
65 yesterday and we are heading to 70 in the next day or so. [coffee]
50s in the daylight, 30s when I go to work and when I get off. Atleast for three more months. Thanks to my brother for giving me his Joe Rocket cold weather suit.
It was 12o on my way to the gym this morning...
15o now... :P

sounds like your trying to rub it in... I think we should all come and visit, it sounds like the place everyone wants to be right now. [beer]
Actually got out and rode a bit today. Nearly 60° out.
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.
"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.
[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!

Um, if your speed is 75mph, that puts your windchill at "Off the chart Brrrrr!!"
