  Supposedly a stationary front has been sitting over Greenland stalling the normal west to east weather crossing the country.  This front has a clockwise flow binging the jet stream down and infecting a good part of the US with much cooler weather.  This may be why people go on shooting spree's.  I need sunshine and an open road............
I spent the last two days riding out of the NorthEast and into Ohio.  It's beautiful out here in Dayton.  So warm, in fact, that I wish I had room to pack my mesh riding jacket.  It's 76F right now, at midnight.  Chances of thunderstorms the next couple of days, but temps in the high 70s.

I've never stopped riding here in VA (except when it snowed of course).  Not to bad in the summer, spring, or fall.  And dressed right for the occasional cold day in winter, you can't tell it from a spring day except the extra layer.  And rain is just rain. Put your rain suit on and slow down and it's just another ride.

We rode to Cornwall at the weekend. About 300 miles each way.
Got damp the last 20 miles into Bodmin on Friday.
Stayed mostly dry on Saturday.
Stayed ahead of the rain after the first 30 miles on Sunday coming home.
All in all a fun weekend and good to meet new & old friends.
Some were even on GTRs.  8)

I've ridden in -4F and in 110F and of the two I'd rather ride in 110F.
Even with heated jacket, pants and gloves -4F is just too damn cold!
I had icicles grow from my nostrils to my upper lip in under an hour.

That is so lovely. I have ridden in that area and hate living in central IL more and more.  But I have a good job and children here so it's hard to move.  I would live in NorCal somewhere between Eureka and San Francisco if I could.
