Yep, trying to decide if I should head up sunday for the week or wait and see what comes of it? Trouble is the whole month of feb is shot cause of work issues so its either jan or march? I remember guys telling me they would never plan anything for the middle of january because it was always so cold. Not gonna be a problem this year...

About a 57 degree swing in 48 hours. Went out for a spin today and snow was surprisingly good - most likely an after effect of the arctic cold earlier in the week. Hoping the cool-down happens as forecast.

Getting harder and harder to tolerate the temp swings! Nonetheless justifying buying new or newer equipment as mentioned previously. Love this sport but the angst is starting to wear on me.....

Additionally, it's not helping my marriage at all with the "I'm going and now I'm not. Oh, I'm going now, oh, now I'm not! Oh, "Johnny" doesn't want to go now so now I'm not." "make up your dang mind she says!!!!" LOL! It's not me it's the weather!!!!

My wife diagnosed me with weather anxiety. Symptoms of anger, frustration, contemplation, boredom, etc. occur when the temperature goes above 32 degrees with rain and no snow.

I think I should get diagnosed with this as well.

Good luck to fuji, and slimcake on next weeks weather, and riding. Perhaps the crowd may thin out. No info out POLARISDAN, puzzling
 
Why is Chords saying it's going to be a nice day this weekend because of the warmth? I can't stand hearing people say that this time of year. Much less seeing people ride motorcycles, golf, biking in January. It's time for snow and cold!!!!!

You have to just isolate yourself from local weather reports.... they're useless anyhow.

Just track snow depth maps online and plan from there.
