It's too COLD!!!!!

After watching The March of the Pengins last night, with those crazy birds walking 80 miles over ice (when they're really not made for walking) and huddling together to survive temps of -80 degrees F, I'd decided I was going to start seeing the bright side of temps only slightly below 35. But, dangit! riding in this weather is really uncomfortable! The whining continues...

If your bike needs a tuneup, this is an excellent time to leave it at the shop. Mine is there now.

Of course, everybody else had the same idea, so they are backed up.

I'm dreaming of spring days of warm sunshine and birds singing with a nice warm breeze, the spanish broom blooming and making the air smell like flowers, the morning doves coo-cooing in the mornings to the sunrise. I miss shorts and teeshirt weather!!

We got a snow day today!!!! I had to get up at 4:30 to get ready for a conference I was to attend. Jumped on my trainer to log a few miles before hitting the shower. The district cancelled school mid-way through the ride and I decided I was not traveling to the conference 50 miles north of my town. As it turns out this was a good decision for the back roads I would have taken were hazardous and 71N was closed due to a major pile up. So it is a day off and I get to watch my new kitchen metamorphsize today. The cabinets and counters are being unpacked as I type and hopefully by the end of the day they will all be place.

Good point, Southern Belle, we took DH's bike in last saturday, it needed the rear derailleur replaced as well as some realigning of parts. The bike shop said, be back in an hour! we were shocked. Saturdays are their busiest day.

School are close to the north. Schools are closed to the south. Schools are closed to the east. Schools are closed to the west. Our district didn't close

It is -16 with a wind chill of -21.

Some of the busses couldn't start because their gas was gelling in their tanks.

I, too, dream of swimming in the river, hanging out in a swimsuit with the kids in the backyard, and sitting on the porch swing in the morning.

If we wait, it will come.

Sundial - what a laugh! I can't imagine living generations ago and having to head outdoors at night in weather like this!

That gives new meaning to "freezing your butt off"!!
