February 74 degrees !

Got to love living in New England, 8 inches of snow then 3 days later 74 degrees. Once I saw the forecast the bike was coming to work so I could get out while it was still nice. I was presently surprised that the roads weren't worst than what they were. Oh how nice it was being back out on the road, and throw in some wind to add to the fun.

A couple days ago it was 62 here in SW MI. Unfortunately, it was accompanied by 2 inches of rain.

I think we made it to 60 degrees but with all the snow on the ground plus the rainfall we had several local roads closed due to flooding :-(

Love the video! Two familiar sounds: the Mass accent (moved here from the Worcester area) and wheels hitting the infamous potholes! I don't have them much anymore, but don't really miss one of them.

Thanks ! What accent ? I though the roads would be worse, only rattled the teeth a little bit.
