Good thing for dry roads though  Bigok

Heavy frost on the grass when I left this morning. I had the Gerbings on for the second day in a row. I probably wouldn't wear it except that I spent 15 minutes on the interstate and that gets mighty chilly fast  Crazy

Thursday looks to be wet - if its this cold then I guess its time to start up the Subaru  Embarassment

Yes I forgot to wear my balaclava today and my chin required defrosting after getting to work.  

I will have to start wearing my electric vest now.

It was 25 out this morning at my house, supposed to be warming tomorrow.  That isn't chilly, that is cold!  Winter is coming early this year, last year we had morning temps in the 40's until December.   Sad

Winter is coming early this year...


This weather forecast cracks me up.

Yes it has been chilly. 32° this morning. Thank god for Gerbings, and I think I'd be hard pressed to find a better
cold-weather ride than my old Connie without going to something like a 'Wing. I like riding in the cold, I just get nervous
with black ice or frost on the roads.

27 F this morning (23F down in the valley I ride through to get to work).  

I couldn't get the 996 to fire up, so I took the Multistrada this morning.  Gerbings on, balaclava on and it was all good.  Bigok

Gonna hafta figure out why the 996 refused on me today... Headscratch

It was 32 when I left the house yesterday. Thank God for the heated jacket liner. But overall, it wasn't unpleasant. This morning, I awoke to frost on the cars. For me, frost=cage. Tomorrow is supposed to pretty similar, maybe a little warmer in the morning. I might give it a go again tomorrow. It's too early to put it up for the winter.  Thumbsdown

Only 32 degrees on the  Musconetcong Ridge when I took the pooch out.

Time to plug in people and don't spare the BTU's.

I've been using the Gerbings liner for a month.

Old bones ya know.

The cold air whistling through freshly drilled teeth must have been interesting.
