    And just like that the rain is over. Nothing but beautiful blue skies behind the pink and grey clouds.20180109_170211-3024x2268.jpg

    No word from anyone, which likely means it's all good. :thumbsup:

    I got lucky. I walked in to change in the pouring rain, walked out to clock out and it stopped. Started right as I started pedaling, but just a light ride the whole way home.

    The horses have hip waders on though.

    I got unlucky. I waited for the rain to stop to ride my bike over for $1 Taco Tuesday. 4 blocks. By the time I got there it was pouring. I was wearing my rain jacket but my lower half got pretty wet. My leather slide-mocs are also really good at retaining water. at the taco place, they laughed at me, and the rain got worse as I got my order and rode home through hub deep run-off in some spots. Got laughed at by the family as I came in the door looking like a wet rat-but I had tacos....

    Possible rain Thursday night into Friday, lingering snow in Mt Baldy Village into Saturday. Monday, Jan 22, is forecast for more.

    Looks like an attack on GMR may be in the offing. :whistling:

    Ya gotta love riding season in the So Cal Winters. Not too cold and certainly not too hot. You don't have to feel rushed to get out early to beat the heat, or late to wait for cooler temps.

    Dude! I grew up next to a 10,000 square mile body of water that was often frozen for months on end. We can describe cold with all 5 senses. :p

    My sister said it was 10 in Bennington KS, (that's where my place is also) I live in a trailer "and I'm white" in Acton. 21-Deg, pipes are frozen. Backup tank is working fine though, today is a good day to wear your ski helmets if you ride!

    I dont doubt you one bit but that was then and this is now.

    Are you claiming to have retained the ability? There isnt much water in So Cal to use as a guide, ya know? :p

    Stationed on a ship in Alaska for a year and a half. The ice flows could make things...interesting.

    Once you fall through the ice a few times miles from home, or scuba dive in 28 degree water without gloves, it's ingrained! :p

    Wind chill was below -20. We made it into the Buffalo News that day... Of course, we had to do the interview inside, because the ink in the reporter's pen froze solid. :p

    Thank you everyone for posting pics and forecasts of what cold looks like from locations away from So Cal. Now, let me rephrase the question.

    What does the cold look like in So Cal at or near sea level? Sheesh! :laugh:
