Here in Vancouver it is unseasonably white and cold. I got to ride for a couple of hours on Saturday...until it started snowing. It then continued to snow for the rest of the weekend.
It is currently a bit below zero.
Not normal for this time of year here.

Maybe New England stole Vancouver's mojo.

You can have it for a while. :) You deserve a reprieve. I think we are getting our comeuppance for so many years of gloating. :wink:

Ahh the wonderful side effects of global warming!

Just kidding.

Here in Germany and the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxenberg) it has been in the lower 40's in the morning and the high 50's in the afternoon. Unseasonably warm. This year might be known as the year without a winter.

Word up...

I rode to work yesterday, today and plan on riding tomorrow. Highs about the same - around 60 to 65, but rain coming by Thursday.

It's a beatch in the morning....pretty freakin' cold and H-E-A-V-Y fog yesterday.... but it pays off at lunch and the "not cold as morning" ride home.
ROLL TIDE !!

yes it was nice and warm here in central Pennsylvania during the Thanksgiving weekend with temps in the 60's I had to debate with myself if I should spend the day riding either the motorcycle, or the ATV or the dirt bike, since I am an expert at riding them all, I figured I can still ride the atv in the cold temps and these warm temps won't last for long so I took the bike out, the only problem riding the bike I almost got killed and run over 3 times in one day if it wasn't for my professional riding ability to advoid the crash I wouldn't be here today. I kinda figured the reason why all the cars were pulling out in front of me is because most people were not expecting to see a motorcycle out this time of year.
