Well I live in SoCal so it doesn't get too bad here. but yeah I ride all year round. I have full winter riding gear. Its usually in the upper 30's to lower 40's in the morning when I ride to work. If its raining I sometimes ride but if its raining hard I drive my suv instead.

I spent most of the day tinkering out in the 30F weather but I did get out for a spin. Gotta love electric clothing.

Looks cold enough!

Ice storm here :(

It's pretty cool...but these things only happen when I forget to cover the bike.

Are you from Canada :D

Day after the ice storm it got up to 57F. Weird weather.

Hoping it stays dry for a day or two now.

In Minnesota eh we see that about once a year. I usually skate to work :p

I remember one day it was a flat out blizzard, roads were unplowed, warnings on tv not to drive. I had to go to the store ( which was closed :/ ) I drove past my friends house, and this was about a 5 mile trip, seen no other cars on the road, I could barely see, was doing 25mph in a 55mph zone. It was like -10 out with a nasty wind chill, and I drive past my friends dad... he's jogging with his dog.... all he's wearing is a wind break (pants and shirt setup), and a hat. Yeah his dads crazy, he's like 70 too, ex navy seal, even at 70, that mans flat out scary when he's angry.
