Default OK, who did this ??

Who up north has cast the spell on us southern folks? More snow is forecast for here. It's spring, trees are blooming and we still get snow. I apologize for all the snide remarks I have made to the north folks about how nice it is here while ya'll are still shoveling snow. You can take it back anytime.
I promise to be nice from here on...

Funny you're saying this. I pulled into the parking lot today, got out of the cage & thought...hey, it's nearly warm enough to ride! Although it was still 32 degrees, it just felt warmer.

Which reminds me...I gotta get those tires ordered.

Yep, temps are relative. In NM 15 degrees was comfortable enough to ride. Here, 50 degrees will freeze your butt off.

We get about 90-100 with the heavy humidity it sucks. I choose the air conditioned cage that morning and ride at night.

Which part of TX? I lived in San Antonio and Houston ( not at the same time tho!! ) and can honestly say that in terms of heat and humidity Houston is generally worse than Memphis but San Antonio is generally a bit milder than Memphis.

San Antonio will reach higher ambient temperatures but the air will be a bit less saturated than the average humidity level of Memphis.

Chicago? I'm not buying that. You guys get over a hundred every day for a month at a time? I might believe that that happened one year, but not every year.
