Well, as you can tell, I am starting to go crazy from the cold. Any
of you who are living in more moderate climes should count your
blessings. Right about now, I would give my soul for a little
warmth. My advice to anyone reading these forlorn words of mine is
that if you are still young make it your life's work to find a
decent climate to live in. You do not want to end up like me,
cursing the weather every day of your life.


Well We're getting hammered right now with a big storm here in NY. 7+
inches so far. Probably 9-10 before it's over. It's 20 degrees F.
currently as I type this. No bike riding for me!


Minnesota is in line for getting it tomorrow- 6-10" here and up to 12"
towards the Iowa border. On the upside, we've been in a drought for a
long time and are still 7-8" short on rainfall over much of the state,
so this will be helpful for the 2009 growing season.

My bikes are put away in the winter. Even with studded tires, it's no
fun riding when you're surrounded by ground missiles that are barely
under the control of their operators. The standards of winter driving
around here have been declining for years- a combination of an aging
population, a significant influx of people seeing snow for the first
times in their lives, and repeated budget cutting for road repair and
maintenance because low taxes are more important than a functioning
infrastructure...
