It is a warm quiet winter here in Minnesota. I was getting spring fever, stopped at the bike shop today. I think I will put my Stiebel on tommorow in my unheated garage.

You're "CRAZY"!! Hay Jimmyt Crazy dude I like global warming. I mean the warm part. Not the part where we all starve due to not being able to produce crops, the sea boiling, sky falling, oh wait a minute that is in the Bible there in the last part. Maybe the Global Warming is true but just for the ones that ain't going to the place I am headed. Rubbing it in a little. |

One of our local weather guys out of Springfield Mo. reminded us what happened on 1 Feb 2011. Dont care where you live it's called a BLIZZARD. This 60 degree stuff ain't too hard to put up with.  I remember cause i was supposed to take the ex to St Louis and didn't even leave the house. The did close both I-44 and I-70 here in Missouri. And Stanley-i are sorry yer missing winter-NOT. After the years of over the road driving and working construction-i'll take a mild winter now cause WE WILL get slammed again before you know it.  Sides-i won't ride my phat ghurl in the snow and ice. RIDE SAFE. |

Weather in Kansas is ABSOLUTELY UN-predictable (Weather men just lie and witchdoctors are just guessing), So get on yer Valk and take the good with the bad. Any day you ride,,,,was a good day to ride! |

Right around 60 today here in Kansas City. Road to work. Nice to still be able to ride this time of the year but we really need the moisture bad. I'm for some snow. No more than a foot or two will do.

Y'all can keep the SNOW.....but send me some cold temps!!...... I'm one of those rare breed also. I'll take the cold over the hot summer any time! Never had any tolerance for the heat, even as a kid. I do most of my riding in the colder weather. Once the real hot days arrive, I'm inside, sad to say. |

Any day you ride,,,,was a good day to ride! Uhh. Around here it's the Witchdoctors that lie... and the Weathermen that are just guessing. They make over 6 figure, are wrong 50% of the time, and keep their jobs. Pleasant weather in New England here. The freak October 31st snow... and a few dustings is all we've gotten so far. Way different than last year. |

I don't mind the snow, it's all the freezing rain we have gotten this year. My driveway has about 4" of ice on it. Each time it rains it makes it slicker than snot.

I agree! Last year, it was freezing during Super Bowl week, ice was falling off of Cowboy's Stadium, cars sliding off the road. We are walking around in short sleeves this week. I'm going to have to mow the yard next week if this keeps up!!!!
