We should be riding, with global warming.
But no, instead we have the current version of “THE PLAGUE” and snow!
 
That's how our yard looked about a hour ago but it warmed up to 40 and melted.

We're on the front side of that weather system. Chilly, but glorious clear sunshine with a nice breeze. Went for a stroll with my wife and enjoyed it. Hoping for a bit of "wind burn" to make me look better...
 
Upstate NY here (Cooperstown area)- white now- glad I got a 60 mile ride in last Saturday. 30-35 degrees but the Roadcrafter with electric gloves and jacket worked perfectly.
 
My Flowers in the snow picture..........

A sad change from yesterday. And, yes, the borough road crew did swing by and spread salt on the wet street. It's 39-degrees......

25 cent piece size snowflakes........not really “sticking” though.
The state (Mass) has closed all “non-essential” businesses as of noon tomorrow.
Everyone hoping for the best.

3" of snow here in southern Maine, but it'll be 50 degrees later today...it won't last. I just hope they didn't salt any roads last night.
 
Yesterday it looked so promising...

Here’s to hoping it’s baking out the virus �� for you :)

Oh, we can hope. The tri-county area of Brewster, Presidio, and Jeff Davis counties has a combined population of just over 18,000 people. The only hospital has 25 beds and two respirators. Even with the population density as low as it is (Brewster County alone is bigger than Connecticut with 9,000 people - 6,000 of the 9,000 in Alpine) folks are taking "stay at home" pretty seriously. Which is a very good thing. So far zero cases in the three county area.

Good glad to hear that! But if you started w zero cases and then people stayed at home you would still have zero. Would be very different if you had 3 or 4 cases........then quarantined, only then can you see how well people paid attention

93 degrees here yesterday.

Oh my! It is still March isn't it? Terlingua, Texas just hit triple digits. 3:00 p.m., March 26. I dread what May and June (our hottest months) may bring. Ouch!

Wow, one of the times when down there in April it hit 100 F. It was probably below freezing when we left Iowa, so we're lucky we didn't crack from the fast temperature change :)
