I've been to parts of Texas and I'll take our cool, mid-50's West Coast winters any time. It can be cool overnight (hit 25 degF early am), but that just keeps the lawn from growing. My hat is off to those living in winter climes who ride through the winter; I'd be on one of those fancy trainers.

Tomorrow we're getting the heaviest snow the northwest has seen in decades. I'm taking the day off. I bet I'll see people skiing in the roads tomorrow.

Revenge is not always a dish best served cold.
You guys in American Siberia be sure to remember this. Make a nice Zombie thread in August when it's so hot in San Marcos, TX that birds are exploding in mid-air and nuns are swearing openly in the street.

I saw people huddled around a fire on the sidewalk this morning. It looked like they built a fire pit out of snow.

I'm from Michigan but moved to Texas (Austin/Houston) and lived there for 13 years. Loved it. 5 months ago I moved back to Michigan. I'm not looking forward to riding in my basement during the winter but I have everything setup so it's conformable.
I'm coming down the end of this month for work and wish I could bring my bike.
On a side note riding my mountain bike on snow packed roads is pretty fun ! If I want to get out I can.

That's why they invented headlights and tail lights for bikes. We just go all Omega Man and ride at night. No big deal.
