Enjoying some car crash videos on the youtube and this classic came up. I remember the day vividly. We got a couple inches snow in the morning, then a little rain in the afternoon that turned to freezing rain later in the afternoon... And then it snowed some more on top of that.

It is.
It's eastern time, not east coast time.

I wish I could answer that. When I did the annual 4th visit, and brought my bike, I was able to snag some KOMS which held until the local talent got cranky. I did some 3x20' LT up Stevens Pass one time, and was quite happy with my numbers, and was dejected when I couldn't duplicate them up here, so it is a real thing. It was a full 20+ watts, and I was happy. When I read others numbers at sea level, I'm impressed, but also realize I could be around there too, so it's all relative. They would come up here, and have to be human like the rest of us up here.

It's the same difference as saying Knoxville is an eastern city versus saying it's an east coast city.
Yes.
Yes.

I can tell you that when there's a fire or an earthquake in LA or San Diego, I get friends from Back East asking if I'm okay. That's like there's a fire in Miami and asking if people in DC are affected.

got all suited up, took two cranks and decided to take the day off. Suppose to be upper 50s tomorrow morning.
Ive never had to use cream in by bibs, but I think the cold dry air is changing that. I sat on my seat this morning and the area where my butt meets my legs felt raw.

However, the point is that all these people are wrong, as with those who call Knoxville "east coast".
