No riding Here!

[newfsmith]

No, its more like it's snowballing here. Excuse me while I go scream.

[Surlygirl]

Can I join you in the screaming? About 10 new inches here where I am this morning. Out west its in the 80's. It looks like January, not March.

[DeniseGoldberg]

My bikes and I would like to join you in the screaming! It's the middle of March, and I can't believe we haven't seen any sign of spring yet.

While I'd prefer warmer temperatures, right now my bikes & I would be happy with dry roads! It's supposed to be in the 30s today, and if the roads were dry I'd definitely be out there. But given that I believe my poor bike would be covered in salt and mud within 5 minutes, my outdoor activity today is going to be limited to walking!

...wishing for no more snow, no more snow, and warmer temperatures too!

It's snowing here, too, but NOTHING like the snow you ladies out east have gotten. Still........... it's enough to keep me inside on the trainer instead of outside on the roads so I can empathize a bit! I feel your pain! I have little "Think Spring" signs up all over my house. They aren't having any effect, as far as I can tell. I was able to get outside on the bike this past weekend, but the high temp for the day was 24 and the wind was 15-25 mph, which made wind chill a consideration. Not the most pleasant of rides, but at least I was out! It was worth a slight numbness of the extremities.

I think we will have earned some beautiful April weather, after surviving the stuff we are getting in March.

OK OK.....I learned my lesson.....no more "gee its Gorgeous" comments! It's SNOWING in New Mexico! (insert fowl languague here).....I mean the mountains are Completely gone...covered in storm clouds and we have accumulation. I drove today coz it was supposed to Rain all day but the rain became snow and driving home with idiots that have Not a Clue how to drive in the snow is going to be a challange. I don't even OWN a snow brush and my truck is covered! I didn't bring mittens, gloves....heck I don't even have a heavy coat in the truck....we aren't supposed to get this kinda weather. I am Most disturbed!
Spazz....did you do this?? Mass??...Denise??......fess up...Who did this?!

[Surlygirl]

Not me (hee hee). Just kidding. Since its such an unusual event for you, look at it as a beautiful change of scenery. I love the first snow of the season. Its the rest of the winter I hate. At least you know it will be gone shortly. The ground is still white here. I wouldn't mess with the girls in New England anymore if I were you.

Nope, not me either! I've had enough of this white stuff - but then again I had enough of it as soon as it started, and mid-March is definitely too late for this nonsense. The weather wizard I've been talking to doesn't seem to be listening, but I won't take the credit (or the blame) for snow in New Mexico!

It's warm and sunny here in California. I mountain biked on Saturday and did a great 50 mile road ride in the sunshine along the coast on Sunday.

We love our weather out here, but a 950 square foot house (2 bedrooms / 1 bath) costs almost a half million.

It hasn't snowed here in 40 years, but we all have to pay in one way or another...

And, there are those who say global warming doesn't exist. When I was a toddler in AbuQ X decades ago it wasn't unusual for it to snow in town. Maybe not a lot, but nobody was surprised about it. A couple weeks ago we had 2 tornados in West Sacramento. The weather is getting weirder and weirder.

Gee, I am truly sorry that you had to join our white little club...but I am trying to stay optimistic and like Annie THINK SPRING...it's supposed to be 40+ all week here in Massachusetts so I am going to try to get all my work done early so I can ride with my son when he gets out of school!!
