Burrr it's cold outside...

So once again it is time for us
to bundle up and start doing
more indoor hobbies.
It has been below freezing the past
several nights here.
How cold? Well try 20 some mornings
and 26 a couple others..
Days are sunny yet takes awhile to get up to
the 40 or near 50 like today.
Roads have not been bad and that makes it
easier for the early a.m. commute home.
So far snow is staying in the mountains and I am
thankful for that.
How cold is it where you live? Any snow yet?

Yes, it even gets a bit cold in the deep south. Next week overnight lows of 26, 27 with highs of 45, 46. That's cold, but I remember when I lived in Michigan we had 45 days where the high didn't get above freezing. I inadvertently ordered a balaclava that is so thick I can barely breathe through it. With some good gloves I'll be alright. Life's to short to worry about a little bit of cold.

Here in New Mexico we finally got some winter weather. Forecast for the next couple of days shows below freezing and possible snow. In NE Nevada it is even colder according to the forecasts. Kind of good we decided to winter here in New Mexico. But next year we will probably be staying in Nevada.
Slight amendment:
Just re-checked weather.com supposed to have snow
storms
tomorrow and Sunday in New Mexico and it is actually a bit warmer during the day in NE Nevada but much colder during the night with no precip predicted.

We're even getting some rain here in S.AZ...
We need it...
The thing is... it rains so seldom... that every time it does, we all realize our wipers have rotted off...
I hit the wipers today,.. and watched the arms run back and forth with bits of rubber trailing behind...
... always a big run on wipers at the auto parts store, every time it rains...
We don't get much rust here,... but rubber sure takes a beating...

Laugh if you will, it was about 77 Fahrenheit in Auckland New Zealand today. I've loaded my bag for a trip to the South Island For the Burt Munro "Worlds Fastest Indian" festival in Invercargill. If the temperature is the same tomorrow, I'll melt with riding gear on. S40 will probably be the smallest bike in the group I'm going with and I'm looking at a three or four thousand km trip with a couple of bike museums along the way.

I live at the very end of the Columbia Gorge in Oregon. It's not so much the cold but the wind. It just won't stop here for weeks it seems. Today we had gusts up to a bit over 70 mph. If you do not hang on to your car door, it will rip it off the hinges.

Sending warm thoughts your way.... was 73 here today and will get down to almost 40 here tonight...last night it actually stayed around 60 degrees f. because of low clouds.
Although this sunday night is going to be in the upper 30's and still won't freeze here along the coast (4 block from the gulf).
Rode the bike today was really nice, not too warm, no blazing sun...just kinda dreary day.

Alright....I saw this thread and it motivated me....to go for a ride.
It is 33 degrees and there were some snow flakes. I put on insulated coveralls, then a heavy coat.....bella clava on my neck, full face helmet, and gloves.
I went for about an 8 mile ride....and it wasn't bad at all. However the Savage was parked in the garage....the new to me Honda ST1100 fairing did a good job keeping the cold air off me!

Lancer....it is Sunday! Your church must start awful early if you have to get up at 4 AM to get ready!
It is 6:15 AM and the temperature is now 17 degrees. I might just have to start thinking about what winter projects I have to do.
The Cafe' bike will get paint, a front fender, a working handlebar mounted compression release, and maybe a 1.5 inch header pipe....it it is a long winter!

24F with a wind chill of 13F. It's a bit chilly, but it should bring the rest of the leaves down.

Been out scraping ice and snow from the cars...Lake Effect snow here in greater Syracuse. That wind is cold, not worth lingering in. Only an inch or two, maybe 4" drifts due to winds.
Sounds like the NE/Broncos game tonight will be a cold windy glad I'm watching it on TV sorta game.
