Ah, perspective..... I just got a new 4WD vehicle, finally got my snowblower tweaked so the cutting bar / bucket work correctly and have a new wood stove coming in a few weeks. I hope it is dozens, no, hundreds of degrees below zero F and we get snow by the furlong!
We went up to Cow Hampshire last weekend and the temps. snuck up on both of us on the bike though. I did not bring my winter, heated gloves nor heated pants and the first day in the mountains (Thurs.) was downright painful riding. It was only in the 40's F but an hour of that at 70 + MPH will defeat even moderately warm clothes. Another typically incorrect answer to the question: How cold can it get on the second week of Sept.? It is tough packing bulky winter clothes but what is worse is not having them :-(

Man, I hope we aren't in for another cold winter. Last year sucked.
