Living in Massachusetts I always tried stretching my riding season until the first snow flew, then one year I said F'it I'm riding all year and from then on if the roads were clear of snow and ice I would ride to work, several times I had some sketchy rides to and from.
Coldest ride in was -3.
Oldest grandson liked cold weather rides. Don't do it anymore, haven't had a day with snow in years that didn't have a lot of salt in it. Shame, fun doing doughnuts and drifting corners. He had to get out and push a couple times...
The old crew has seen these before, but I think a few here now haven't.
Russ..... glad to hear things went well. Wifey had a brother and a sister who both passed from brain aneurysm, a year apart to the month. Wifey went in and got checked and they found she had the start of one. They placed a coil in that vessel and all seems well. For now. She is, I believe on the start of dementia or alzheimers.
Hope you have no further issues!!!
I had two calls from Atlanta, Delta guys that didn't understand something in the manual they'd inherited when Delta bought the mismanaged wreck I'd worked for. Both times I had the solution in notes I still had on my computer, but that's all gone now. More than once I've helped tech writers and in house engineers take something apart and re-assemble it so they could write a manual people could understand, when the factory manual was a mystery to everyone. Worst one was understandable, just that near the end of assembly you had to take it all apart again because step whatever was actually the second step.
Been there done that, we got this revision for you to try, should only take 30 minutes.
12 hours later.

Came out of work one morning at 6am to 4 inches of slush, ride home was beyond scary, but I did it.
When I got up at that afternoon (4pm'ish) it was 72°

LOL!! Telsa those kind of issues were compounded exponentially as they had a heavy tendency to make it up as they went. One off and on the fly seat of the pants solutions was the rule of the day, just make it work. What they are dealing with now is not everybody is good at it
Afternoon/evening, guys. Chilly here. Rode to work in 38° and cloudy weather expecting 65° and sunny for the ride home. Nope, clouds stuck around all day and it was a chilly 50° ride home.
Drained the sprinkler system.
