44 and sunny this weekend in Southern Indiana!
I'm taking my bike apart and packing it up for the weekend at home #1!
Today was a bitter high of about 15 (and windy). I was so stir crazy that I went to the Y, did a cycling class, one weight circuit AND ran 1 mile (I DO NOT RUN...BUT I DID!):cool::cool:, and then did ANOTHER cycling class. Then I came home, ate broccoli and cauliflower (with a hint of cheeze sauce).
:confused:Hmmm, maybe cold and stir crazy is good for my health...:rolleyes:
Awright, so the NWS says it's 31 degrees in Seattle right now. That's not bitter cold but it sure feels like it.
I went for a 35 mile ride tonight. I was ok on the ride into town, then I stopped, ate dinner and had a beer. When I left to ride home, my fingers were wicked cold and I was wearing warm gloves. It took a while for me to bring everything up to operating temperature.
The cold weather is one thing - the ITS TOO ICY is really gettin to me!
We had snow flurries (not much accumulation) all day yesterday so there not a whole lot more snow, but it is SOOO Icy!
I did get to play 2 hours of tennis last night and have 2 more hours on Saturday. I'll throw some spinning on the trainer in on Sunday and call that good I guess.

Just remember ladies we get 100+ temps for most of the summer. :rolleyes:
It is snowing sideways here AGAIN!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! 3-6 inched anticipated and snow in almost every day of the upcoming forecast. It's February. I have been getting gardening and flower magazines in the mail - what part of SPRING doesn't the weather understand????
:o:o:o:othere, I feel better now:o:o:o:o
Hang in there Fly!
Live vicariously through us! Today, it's unexpectedly sunny. We just left the gym and it's 44. Maybe today will be a 40 miler!

Enjoy a ride for me, please! I haven't been outside on my bike since early October, sniff....................
I would be happy for zero. That sounds warm right now.
Sun is out today so hopefully it will warm it up a bit otherwise it is going to be a cold ride!
Yeah, I agree that "too icy" is much worse than just cold!! Makes it hard to do outdoor exercise, and doing stuff inside is just NOT the same.Quote:

So, I walk shivering into Home #2 to find the furnace is not working and the temp is 48 degrees (without Silver to keep me warm!!!)
YUCK! Spring? SPRING? SSPPRRIINNGG!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU?
After two hours, I have the temp up to 54.4 degrees from two hours of space heaters. Yeah! Yippee!
You got up to 10? Whatcha complaining about? We never even hit 0F (-17C)today. Roads were icy because we've had so much snow and the salt stops working turning the wet to ice. While we don't have the snow cover of Flybye, we're in a snow/freeze cycle--heavy snow followed by freeze followed by heavy snow followed freeze. Thank goodness periodically we get a thaw so some of the snow we've piled up can decrease. I'm getting really, really tired of "cross training" by snow shovelling.
Spring? Hello, Spring? Where are you?!?!?!?!!?!?!?! I have a purr-ty new Waterford that would like to see the roads, but we're afraid you've left Winter in charge forever!!!!!
