It is as Cold as as Well-Digger's Arse in NC!!!

Whose idea was this?

I'm clinging to a scorching hot cup of tea for the umpteenth morning in a row, wondering where the Sweet Sunny South has gone. I could've stayed in Ithaca if I wanted to freeze my knackers off!

Ooooh! I KNEW you Northern-types wouldn't have any sympathy!

Just don't expect me to be passing out any hankies when it's 100 degrees and 100% humidity in YOUR 'hood!

I just rode my bicycle in to work here in Mass, and I'm toasty warm.
I did wear 3 pairs of gloves, though.

I'll just bet you are. Symptom of hypothermia, that is....

Geez mang - I'm dying to get out. I have no problem with the temp, but the road salt, snow, and black ice out here in the central part of the state is a no go (at least on a road bike).

(oh yeah, to the OP....pfffftttt. I thought well diggers were tough.)

yeah, I'm riding with 700cx35mm studded Nokian tires, but it's still sketchy out there. It's still really all about technique, though.

It was -7°F yesterday plus windchill and we felt like -17°F. GMA just now showed their weather map. For the east coast it said Blustery, right over Iowa it said Very Cold. It is.

Good luck with technique on black ice with 700x22 slicks....

Rob:

Syracuse is a bit cool - I think it's about a week now hovering below 30. Ithaca, probably about the same I'd imagine!

[Boobala]

14°F right now. Forecast for a little more than half that by Friday.
