They say it is going to be over 60 in Minnesota Sunday. Typically I like to wait for a good rain to help clear the roads off, but I'm banking on poor impulse control. We'll see what happens.
How're the rest of you folks that are blessed with winter faring?

San Diego, we've had a terrible winter. So far it's rained like 3 times this year
/S
But to not sound like a complete asshole, im from the Northeast so I feel your pain. I remember we would get out of nowhere 60 degree days but there would still be snow on the ground and between the snowmelt and the remaining salt on the ground, still couldn't ride or at least wasn't willing to chance it. Would be torture.

If my bad recollection is correct - last year I waited through a large part of May before we got a good rain and the roads were clear. Still a toss up for this weekend, but I don't want to go through that again. In MN we're already down to about 50/50 riding vs not riding - so when I can push that ratio in the right direction I'm inclined to do so.
I got gotta get out of this state...

The weather here in north alabama sucks. We get one decent day followed by a week straight of rain and cold. I’m so over it. I’m from SW Florida originally. I miss home.

I rode to work on Wednesday 49 degrees. Snowed last night and 38 degrees today. Supposed to be 52 tomorrow and 62 on Monday. Very little snow this winter and not a lot of bitter cold but it seemed to come really early and is leaving very slowly. In the meantime I have a 3 month old 2019 MT 10 sitting in my garage with K-tech suspension ready to go. Think I'm chomping at the bit? BTW: I've managed to put on 900 miles over the winter. I went out for a ride 1 day, came home and parked the bike in the driveway and then went in and took a nap. When I woke up and looked outside, this is what I saw.  |

Sorry guys.
Raleigh, NC.
Bought my bike mid-January and have put just over 1600 miles on it.
Haven’t even started commuting yet.
Did one commute last week, but it was my only one.
Usually in the 30s or 40s in the morning but 50s to 60s by the afternoon.
Lots of rain though.

Been in 70-80s range other than a couple days here in Orlando...I’d freeze a lot and then move.

Spring in south of Sweden, usually means somewhere between -5° to +14°C and it might be snow/rain in the morning and sunshine in the afternoon  You don't really know what the weather gods have in mind. Today I had some arrends to do, windy as hell but at least it was +9°C so I had no other choice than to take the bike  |
