What about the heat in Tucson?

In winter, it ranges between 60's during the day, to 40's or colder at
night. It's still very dry, so it is important to stay hydrated.

I feel for you, really. We got snow over the weekend and are in the
middle of a cold snap -- but no where near single digits F. The snow
is only an inch or two downtown and has been reduced to sheet ice in
many places. I rode to work on my cross bike and had to get off and
walk in a couple of spots. I am going to have to pick my way home
until I get off the main roads and in to the hills. I can't gain too
much elevation, or else I'll be sledding home. I'm probably going to
have to drive tomorrow or take the bus.

On a somewhat tech note, I went to put on my (car) snow wheels on
Saturday, and my aluminum rims had welded to the iron hubs. Should
have used my anti-seize! Getting those mo-fos off was a monumental
PIA, but finally got it done. -- Jay Beattie.
