still cold as "fudge" and the roads are all shot to "poo poo". Typical New England winter here still.

Forecasting bit of a "Heat wave" here in Ontario. Daytime temps for the coming week are all above 0 C and as high as 7 C in the forecast. Even has some thinking about riding down to Port Dover for Friday the 13th.

It has been spring all winter long here in Central West Texas this winter. I just got in from a short fifty mile trip to the next city. Temperature about 65 degrees. Feels great with the leathers on. Hang in there spring will get here.

It was -6 here today and some nut was out on his vulkan. No windshield, just a skullcap and a bandana around his neck.

Even from in the car I felt cold, and there was a lot of ice on the road. I'm really hoping I don't hear about an accident tonight...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

There has been bikes here in Calgary almost all winter as it has barely snowed here at all. Mine are tucked away nicely under a blanket 'till spring because I'm just not that hardcore... :laughing: ....and I'm not a fan of salt or sand on the roads.
