    My beautiful (yet to be named) Trek 520 is waiting patiently on my trainer too. Time for an ECT session tonight, I think.....

    Godiva - what a great name

    Well...that's because she's naked. She is a ti bike & was too pretty to put paint on!

    I'm home today in the snow too -- very pretty out in the woods. It looks like it may have just changed over to partly freezing rain here in Orange Co. Ugh! I ran yesterday and ride the trainer tomorrow, so I think I'll just lift a few weights and do some ab work today at home and call it good.

    Glad you stayed home too, CA!

    Orange County, NC!

    I know there are also Orange Counties in Florida and California. I had never heard about the one in Virginia, though!

    Spectacular day here today. Low 40's and sunny. The mountains look fabulous and I had a nice run this morning. Life is good. I hope it holds out for the weekend and maybe I can ride outside!

    beach

    It's going to be another HOT weekend here in Perth. Great, another 41c day & unable to go to the beach I'm not going early in the morning as who knows what might be lurking in the water. I know the stingers love us, along with the sharks. Sharks are ok, they just want a nibble

    I'm not complaining, yet..

    Yeah, that was a bit of a bust, wasn't it? it was pretty while it lasted, but if it's going to be cold and gray, I want snow!!!

    Now they're saying next week is going to be brutally cold: lows in teens, highs in 30s. Ouch! Guess we're finally getting our winter.

    Oh well, back to the office tomorrow (I was secretly hoping it would snow a foot and we'd have a LONG weekend!!! )

    Boo hoo hoo hoo...We've been in a gray fog inversion for over a week. The high is 31 and the low is 28. It's gray and ugly and miserable. I'm about to run away! Everyday the weather report is for the fog to burn off by 10 am. I think the weatherman just wants to keep us from leaving the area. I need to see some sunshine!

    Same here, Emily! Cold cold cold next week. We ended up getting nothing but sleet and drizzle out of yesterday's "blizzard"....snow early but nothing stuck. waaaaaaa!!!

    Oh...and I think there's an Orange County in NY, too.

    Being in Florida, the weather has been rather pleasant but cold for my skin (highs in the 60's and lows in the 30's, yes I'm a complete cold weather wuss, but what do you expect from a sunshine state girl!). But, the bad weather is coming, especially if last night is gonna be a taste of things to come. We got hit by some major tornados and heavy rains with a lot of lightening. This has been occuring for the past couple of weeks but last night was the worst (a little earlier in the year, oddly enough). This is when my time of riding is halted by severe lightening storms and Im stuck on the stand in the afternoon.

    If anyone would like to send their rain to northern CA, we sure could use it. But please, it should arrive between the hours of 11:00 pm to 3:00 am and only on weekdays. The address is Camelot, CA

    Spring is around the corner here. I've seen acacias blooming (ahhhhchoooo!) and the ornamental fruit trees here on campus are about to pop. I always miss Colorado snow around the holidays, but once the weather starts to warm up here, I'm glad to be in CA.

    Here in Denver we've had 44 days with snow on the ground. We got 3" yesterday. It's cold but sunny. Unfortunately it's too cold to go skiing (high winds) so I'm doing the trainer again today.

    There's more snow here in the Denver area than in the mtns. I'm originally from Cincinnati and have not seen this much snow for so long. I'm loving it!

    Oh, the kids only got snow days when the blizzard hit at Christmas, our streets are still packed in snow and ice but the kids don't miss school. Plus, they're allowed to go out and play in it at recess! That was unheard of in my school district in Cincinnati.

    People here aren't used to so much snow, the record no. of days was in 1983,
    60 some days then. It's wearing thin on the transplants, especially the ones from California.
