    Snow! :eek:

    It's been snowing since 6pm! This is not record early, but definitely a surprise after a record warm and long Summer and Fall. Guess that's it for my riding for a while. I managed to get in a couple of 3-mile commute rides after the long wait for my bike to get delivered. Now it's time to put her in the dry, cool basement until Spring. DH put studded tires on his bike this morning, but that's not for me. I'm scared enough just walking on black ice.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Snow and blizzard conditions here too! But, thankfully, it will be in the 60s tomorrow and into the weekend. They always say, if you don't like the weather here, wait 5 minutes and it will change. I love Colorado!

    Not me -- we've had our first burst of fall weather here in NC, low temps in the thirties, and I find myself really hating it already. And we still have winter to get through! No cracks about North Carolina not having a real winter!!

    The older I get, the more I enjoy warm weather (though anything 90+ with humidity is miserable too) and the less tolerant of the cold I seem to be. If my DH didn't insist on hiking (which I love once I get going - it's just hard to get started when it's cold out), I'd probably just go to the gym and ride on the trainer all winter long. I do not like riding outside when it's cold, no matter how many layers of high-tech cycling gear I wear.

    I could never live in Alaska...but I'd love to visit one day - in the summer, of course!
