I'm right there with you (near Winchester, VA) on the weather. It seems like we get at least one mid-winter thaw, and it seems like we had that last weekend and this week. They're calling for a shift back to winter for the rest of February...we'll see.
We get paid back in summer, though, when the south is burning up. :-) Having lived in southern NC for over 10 years, and my folks having moved to (and then from) Florida in the last 5 years, I know first hand that there just ain't perfect year-round weather anywhere.
I like your new bike rationale.
