Lunch hour weather report:
-11F with westerly winds of 15 to 25 MPH making it feel like -35F
-24C with westerly winds of 25 to 40 KPH making it feel like -37C
Too cold for my daily walk on the local nature trail, let alone riding a motorcycle on greasy, slushy, salt filled roads. Nothing to see anyway, except snow, as every life form is hidden is some form of shelter. A motorcycle ride would be a life and death game of dodgeball, as car drivers would not be looking for motorcycles.
This Polar Vortex has been stalled here for the last 3 weeks. But we will get a January Thaw on the second week of the month. It will not be as warm as usual, but something near the freezing point of water would feel balmy.

My that is so hard core Ferret , you might be the only biker in the state out on a road like that.
The best part about growing up in Florida is i didn't have to move here when i got old.

Actually turned into a stunning day Cormanus. Sun out all day, got up to 24 degrees. Actually with right bike and right gear it isn't bad at all. If I hadn't woke up late, I'd have
ridden more, but told my wife I wanted to be on the road to Berea by 9 AM.
Empty Sea's ride at +3 was a lot tougher I can guarantee you.. no fairing, no electrics. He's tough!
Use2B how did you get a pic of that same intersection? That's crazy lol

Well no riding today or for the next several days methinks. Back to below freezing again and a blizzard going on right now. Got 1/10 of an inch of sleeting ice earlier, followed by up to 4" of snow tonight and up to 3" of additional snow coming again Monday. Jan and Feb can be tough on a motorcyclist in the Ohio valley lol.
