Here I am about to complain on how cold it is to ride in san francisco then I think about u others who are snowed in and can't ride at all. Now, I'm thankful.

The coldest winter ever was the summer I spent in the Bay area.

Just got back after riding and hour or a bit more. Beautiful sunny skies, and 28*.

Gerbing's rock!

It's -30 in the daytime here, colder at night, and you all can go to hell.....

28* Fahrenheit, I should say, since I do all my scales in American

. Still just a touch warmer than you though.

With me it's not so much the current air temp as the temp that it was at my destination (i.e. work) overnight. Princeton is 30 miles north of here and colder. The road my employer is on I swear must have springs under the road - it's never dry except during a summer drought. If it has been below freezing up there overnight, sure as heck there will be ice on that road. Like this morning - 36 here when I left, but ice patches on the road up there. Motorcycles + ice = very bad. This is why I own a car!

Got up to 8 degrees today!
But we've just gotten a pretty darn good snowstorm, so all kinds of idiots on the road getting stuck...
It's really cold when it's -30 windchill, you're trying to help a car out of a snowstorm, and you forgot your gloves and hat.

its -2*F here (-19*C for you Canuks). Possibly looking forward to the first blizzard of the season. Funny...2 weeks ago it was in the 50's

2 weeks ago it was above freezing and pretty nice for this time of year here as well.

Then it snowed a foot and got dam nippley. Then the wind picked up and now all the snow is gone from any flat ground and drifted 4 ft deep around buildings and on the driveway.....

The next person who says "But it has to snow at Christmas...." to me gets a punch in the face.
