In my opinion, if it's going to be cold, it better snow like crazy or be in the 40's and not windy. It's been cold-around 17 to 25 degrees, but there is just a covering of snow just about every day. The kind that makes the roads just messy enough so I can't ride. And there is not enough snow to enjoy the winter sports I like to do such as snowshoe or x-c ski. The top of the lawn peeks thru the blanket of snow..So I have been banished to the workout closet in my house. Yes, it's that small but it serves its purpose. I would much rather be out and about, in the brisk fresh air.
