0C here and the highways are full of salt!! Snow forcasted for next week, it would be just my luck that this time the weatherman would be right.

It was over 40F and mostly sunny here today and I got about 50 miles riding in.

Looks like I'll get out again tomorrow before the temps drop and the precip starts late in the day.

We were shut down early this year, below freezing day and nite and snow about every day for the first 3 weeks of December. Then the weather broke around the first day of winter and was better all thru Jan and Feb so far and I've been out many days this winter. Coldest day I rode this winter so far was about 20F.

last time I had the bike out it was about 50F when I left the house, an hour later when I returned home it had dropped to about 35F. Other than my hands I wasn't really chilled at all. My jacket kept me quite warm

Was 45F today. Had the bike out for most of the afternoon. Need to wash the bike now since its covered in crud from all the snow that melted.

Supposed to be in the 50s this weekend and all of next week. Will be getting a lot of riding in for sure. Might even ride to work this week.

today was my birthday as well. Good riding weather was about the best present I could have asked for. Definately glad I took today off.

You should move to Ontario, then. I've put 2,200km on the Ural since 1 Dec 05... rode to work yesterday and am taking the bike again today.
