We never got above 0* today. I think I heard on the news this morning that there were weather warnings of some sort in 47 states. Strange weather. Stay safe!!

It snowed in Arizona of all places, even to the point where they had to close the interstate highway. So much for "dry heat".
When I was in my early 20s, I was working for a retail chain as a trouble shooter, firing and replacing bad managers. My car was damaged in an accident and was fighting insurance to get it repaired, so I only had my Bridgestone 175 for transportation. I got asked on Easter Sunday to go to another store 75 miles away. It had been pretty warm so I said okay. Got up at six to 20º and everything covered with ice and sleet. All I had was long johns under dress pants and shirt with dress shoes and a leather jacket. It took 4 hours to go the 75 miles. I got to the motel and ran it out of hot water, trying to thaw out in the shower. I was shaking so bad, I could hardly walk to the store. I was still shaking when I returned to the motel 6 hours later and ran it out of water again. I was still shaking the next morning and most of the day. It took almost a week before my knees returned to normal. Hypothermia wasn't even invented back then, but I'm sure I had it.

We are having pretty normal weather here in Arizona. But, I have been reading about what some of you are experiencing. Rolling power outages, snow and ice where it's not supposed to be, treacherous driving conditions, and down right dangerous cold! Please stay safe and warm. You are in my thoughts and prayers.....

They are saying 1 degree here tonight. Been here 30 years and don't remember it getting that cold before.
Took the Tri Glide out this morning for a little snow ride.
I've ridden plenty in the snow before...but this was not snow. (see video below) It was more like a slushy or Icee...more ice than snow. Had very little control, so did not go far.
Check out how the front tire...
...is making a little wake of the snow/ice.
17 degrees here today, and really icy...so no doing the stuff in the video below today.
