 Today we had the blue norther, 30 degrees this morning, 70 this afternoon, 
dead calm, dry as a bone, high pressure.

-3°F here this morning, 4" of new snow on top of all the frozen moisture 
from a day's rainfall. 

Weirdest things happen in these big temp swings. 

On my 43° rainy ride home the other evening, after low single digit temp 
ride to work,  I ran over an expansion joint that grew over the last two 
days and a rattle on my bike commenced. When I reached a place with light 
and cover I saw that it was my fender stay popped out of the right dropout 
clamp despite blue Loctite. I snugged it with my trusty 4mm and checked the 
others which also took an average of a quarter turn too. 

Might tempt fate and switch to normal tires for Saturday and Sunday.

About 4 inches in the Columbia MD area now. I hear it's going down to 2F 
tonight.

Been too cold to wrench in the garage.
I'll be glad when the warmer weather comes and I can wrench and ride again. 
Conditions here have been bad for the last three weeks for riding.
I don't know how the people up north have been surviving! Over 100 inches this

  Yes, if you're in Alaska they are !   As all that cold air goes down tho 
the lower 48, the temps can rise dramatically in Alaska :-)   When it's sub 
zero cold in Minnesota, it's above freezing in Alaska .

after a December week on the north slope, when I got back to muggy 
Anchorage, it was 25 and I was sweating in a sweater - but we're used to 
rides in the 50s and 60s and they call that winter.  What's wonderful is 
when we get what we call a blue norther - cold high pressure turns the sky 
dark blue, no humidity and those 40-degree mornings are cycling heaven.

At this point I'd kill for a relatively dry day forecast above 40. As of now it 
looks like I'll be sporting a noodly pair of legs (at best) come the start of 
spring here in NYC. 

Bey hey -- we can't complain about the skiing, at least!

Micheal I feel your pain.We had 10 days in February over 60' which was 
great.But lately it's been 30-35' below average.Denver has broken a record 
for snow in February recorded in 1912.Although we haven't gotten snow like 
Boston or east coast, we have been spoiled the past few years.Some of the 
ski slopes are getting 2-4 ft this weekend which is good for the reservoirs 
this spring and of course the skiers.
Hang in there..spring is just around the corner... we'll be mowing the 
grass sooner than we like.

Michael, 
 
Your Vermont problem is the same over here in the "southwest" (Pittsburgh). 
Average February temp. this year was 18.5°F, second to 1979 when it was 
18.0°F. 

I will take -12°F over 35° and raining any day though, and I think I'll 
have the chance to compare soon. 33° and snowing now. Shoveled the wet 
stuff off the walks and driveway twice already. Funny things happen when it 
get s this cold, when the DPW switches to calcium chloride the road can 
have wetness on it but the process of spraying off your tires must reduce 
the ionization and the it starts to freeze onto everything. My front fender 
mudflap has been mighty in preventing subsequent frozen slush mechanical 
failures this winter.
