At least around here it warms up a little every once in awhile. It was 65 the other day and that really made me wish spring would get here.

I can deal with the cold. 2-4" of snow becomes a little more of a challenge.

There's no option in your poll for me.

Weather/temps don't stop me from riding, it's the road conditions. Haven't been able to ride in central Wisconsin since 11/28. We got 6 inches of snow Thursday night. GAY!

45* is my threshold for a ride of any length. Even with a windshield, chaps, etc. After 20 minutes at speed below this, I just get too cold.

It's not the temp but the road conditions. I rode for an hour yesterday. 60 Degrees. Today sunny but cold, 30's. Next three days it is going to snow. The weatherman says that it is going to be so much snow that they can't predict how much. Park the EG again for another month.

Ditto. I ride in any temp, as low as 8°F once. But snow and salt are a big turn off. A week or so ago, Mrs. Grind wanted something from a craft store. Weather seemed nice, so I took the bike. I forgot about the one that's 3 miles away, so I went to the one that's about 11 miles away. When I came out of the store after 10 minutes, flurries had already started to cover my ride. Halfway home, the roads were covered. The last two miles were downright scary. Fortunately, NO cars were behind me, so I could putt along at 15mph.
