-4 degrees with a -19 wind chill.

Talking about good gloves, I don't think even the best would be good enough on a day like this, but,then again, I'm a wimp too jes like Tom. ;)

I hate when these people who live in southern states rub it in when we complain about the cold. Last night was talking to my son who moved to Mesa Arizona a few years ago. Said it was so cold outside and he couldn't find his jacket. I told him he left it here n Ohio when he moved. This was the first time he needed it.

At least we can go ice fishing this weekend, those southerners don't have that at least?  :coolsmiley:

This morning I had my flannel, very nice Scottish Merino wool scarf, ( Estate sales in the summer,$1.00) West German snow pants and chaps with the new leather jacket. I didnt bother with the First Gear liner because of time. I was severely over dressed.
HAHA All that for a 20 minute ride to work. Czuch, the cold coward.
Thats OK, at 50+ I can afford it.
I've been cold before, its overrated.
Aot of guys with burn marks,gnarly scars and funny twitches ask why I spend so much on safety gear

A 'balmy' -7 when I left for work, at 6 this morning...  :(

Now, just about noon, and it's all the way up to 9  :cooldude:

The only handle bars I've held on to lately, have been on my sno-blower  >:(

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...
