    Default Way too cold!!

    I was fortunate to be able to ride in 80 degree weather yesterday in my summer mesh jacket. This morning, however, our temperature is 23 with wind to 35 mph. In Texas we say if you don't like the weather one day it will be different tomorrow.

    Default I got to ride yesterday for a while.

    Yesterday our high hit 68 degrees. I only had about a half day to ride because the afternoon temperatures started dropping with thunderstorms! We went from rain to a mix of snow flurries and a rapid freeze. Low last night around 17 degrees!

    We'll be watching from the comfort of our living room...
    But will be bouncing back and forth between the Packers' game, and the one that the Giants are playing in.

    I could sure enjoy most of your weathers. We got down to -38 and a town west of us here [in Saskatchewan]was the coldest spot in North America at -43. The wife and I still walk outside in this for at least one hour a day to keep in shape and climatised. The forcast for the middle of next week could be above freezing.

    In Vermont this morning we had rain, temps in the 40's, this afternoon it is a different story rain changing to snow, wind blowing, cold front coming thru, changing everything to sheets of ice.
