I remember doing that...

I remember it most often when it's the middle of summer in Las Vegas, and 115F (46C)! :evil: It helps me reconcile why I'm here and not there!!!

Temperatures like that always remind me of Jack London's To Build a Fire.  I remember that the first time I read it, I kept hoping he'd succeed.

 He did,---- But then learned that he built it without looking up.

 At my place it has been nose hair cold.  That is when you stick your head out the door and your nose hair crystalizes.
 We're having a heat wave this morning, we are up to 20 degrees but with more snow.  I still haven't been out since last Saturday.

Right, that was the first hill of the roller coaster.  By "succeed", I meant succeed at remaining alive.

This post reminds me of how spoiled we are living in southern Arizona.
It is supposed to be in the mid 60s today, and I was planning on taking a little "coffee ride" to Bisbee. The southwest is a wonderful part of the country to live in! :thumb:

Happy New Year, bigbikerick! I love Bisbee...take some photos if you ride down there!  :thumb: :cool: :1:  Last time I RODE down there by motorcycle was 2012, with my good friend, Marko.  I was on my Triumph Sprint GT at the time, and he was on his Kawasaki...

Let the dog out this morning, & as I stepped out behind him he was back in the house before I could turn & shut the door!  And he LOVES it outside, no matter what the weather....

I remember as a kid living in Chicago the bitter cold and my dads HD up on blocks for the winter. Cant imagine not riding for all those months. Here in Murrieta Ca it was 84 yesterday and its going to be 85 today. This is why I stay in such an overpriced, over regulated place. I putting on my ventilated jacket, firing up the Stelvio, and going for a ride today. Happy new year everyone.

We are in low single digits but 80 miles as the crow flies, Fort Drum, NY it was -39 air temperature, -35 in Watertown. This is not wind chill. Ft Drum is home to the Army's 10th Mountain Division. Good training weather I guess.

Welcome to winter.
A 'hot spell' before this cold snap left a lot of moisture in the snow so now we are getting frost quakes once or twice a day. Some little bangs with some really big bangs. Like a gun from a ship kind of bang that rattles the house. Startles the crap out of ya.
Supposed to warm up to -28c  by Monday.
