well, this is norway and all that, but still: we're having brilliant autumn weather complete with sub-freezing mornings. i've fetched down and worn my winter tights and winter jacket, have worn overshoes for a couple of weeks already, and have heard many a studded tire crunch past on my commute. I'm holding off on the studs until I really have to, though.

Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

I wore 3 layers on top today, and a buff over my face. It's cold. It's looking like the snow will miss me, though. We usually don't get any until January.

I am out near the Berkshires in western Mass, and there is snow in the forecast for the next couple of days. Wet snow + leaves on the trees= power outage.

No snow here, but we've got a nor'easter today with highs in the 40s for the next few days.
I'm trying to figure out how to convince myself that I really do want to go to the gym tonight -- it's a 15 minute walk each way. No fun in a cold rain.

Bah, what's a few flurries in October?
Time to pull on the merino stuff and feel cozy.

We had snow last week and I've already gotten 2 ski days in. Now I get to enjoy Indian summer.

Ack, sorry. I wrote before noticing that the subforum was USA, Northeast. Thought I was just in preview mode and hadn't posted, but bing, here it was. Just ignore me ;-)

I agree (as I'm sitting here dressed head to toe in wool)!

It was snowing furiously at my house this morning. I am at 1200' elevation and it makes difference here in MA. I work in Lowell and most points east of Fitchburg are between 100-300' msl. By the time I got to Fitchburg it was rain and when I got to rt 495 and in Lowell there hadn't been any precipitation, or it was very light. The ground is still warm so it didn't accumulate much and was gone by the time I got home this evening of course. But seeing it snow so hard this morning was a little disconcerting. I was just getting used to the summer we never had.
