If anybody's interested pull this up and watch it, there's alot of weird wind patterns going on right now. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-76.23,42.92,1523
I loved it when someone was riding my arse on a downhill back when I lived in Colorado... I'd let them ride along until we got to a particularly tight curve, which I'd apex perfectly with my 4wd and snow tires... sometimes even catching the inside snowpack to hook the corner... then I'd watch in the rearview mirror as they went into the ditch. Then I'd turn around & offer them a tow-out for $20.
Friday, I ran into thunder, lightning, rain, hail, sleet, and snow...all at once! It started raining here about 8PM and rained until somewhere between 2:35 and 4:50AM, then started freezing for a while before turning to all snow...really wet, heavy snow. Snowed lightly all day. Now, wind about 30MPH from the East (we rarely get wind from the East) and sleet. This is bullshit! I bought a new bike and want to ride ferchristsake!
Could that be because you are surrounded by people dumb enough to stay in Minnesota? Oh wait.......I'm sorry.
Well, weatherwise they are both a step up from Minnesota. I will say I saw more tanned blondes there, in the middle of winter, versus anywhere else I traveled in the mid 80s to early 90s. Lots of beautiful Scandinavian ladies up there.
