Well, Sunday it was sunny and 36 so I rode. Monday it was 46, cloudy, and humid so I rode in the morning. Tuesday night it absolutely poured down rain and then quick froze over night in a blizzard. Last night, we got an additional 8 inches. It sucks, but every two to three weeks there is a break in the weather and I get to ride. I keep my sanity that way. You have to stretch your standards temp wise to get a ride in. I now consider anything over 33* with 80% clean roads riding weather. If I had some more winter gear, I'd ride in colder.

We have gotten two feet of snow in the last 10 days... TWO FRIGGIN FEET. If you have ever been in that kind of weather...you know what a mess that is. my bike hasnt moved in almost two months.....and I probably have another two months to go. We have had the winter from HELL here in the Northwest <slapping forehead>....I cant go this long without riding my bike.

We've been getting nasty ice storms here in Pittsburgh, and plenty of snowfall. It's actually pretty nice today though, but my bike is in pieces and I don't feel like putting it back together.

It was a beautiful 70 here today. It's supposed to rain tomorrow with a high of 58. But no bother, I rode when it was 19 degrees out, I can put up with a little rain. (either way I have no choice, the bike is my only vehicle.) But, I did just wash and wax it today, so it's expected that it would rain tomorrow.

If you guys are getting the same storm that moved through so cal today, I wouldnt worry much. It was weak. I rode through it.

^^ Yeah, that storm turned into a pretty big snow storm up by Flagstaff, AZ. (what the radar widget shows anyway) Doesn't look like anything is developing or moving into my area yet, so I might stay in the clear and maintain my clean bike for at least one day.
