    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.

    Even in Florida it's freezing this morning: 32 degrees at 7 a.m. OK so it's northwest Florida but it's still the southeast--not supposed to be THIS cold. No club ride for this winter wuss this morning. Rats!

    I won't be riding outdoors anytime soon either. We had a little snow here in Tennessee on Thurs night. the next few days we'll have lows in the teens. My thin Southern blood can't take this!

    Oh for spring. but I have planned out a nice training schedule for a century starting in March.
