Well RumRunn, congratulations on the new baby in the family.
I just want to comment on the dangerous polar vortex and wind chill entering the Boston area Friday afternoon through Sunday morning. Be safe out there!

My daughter was born at the tail end of #1. It was a stressful storm for us. #14 last month was just what the name implies: wet, heavy snow over 2-3 days which got packed down before plows could get to it, etc. Minneapolis and St. Paul streets still haven't fully recovered from that one, nor have many of my bike routes.

looks like I'll be in the 2"-4" range, starting w/ wet snow tonight, then finishing w/ sleet tomorrow mid-day? I guess I can ride in it but I think I have a head cold, so maybe I won't

Essex county getting any wind? Yeah, I love riding short distances in this stuff, but if you feel a bug, wait to ride another day.

Oh hey haven't met you yet - I love the "Funs-wick" myself, heading up there to visit the parents over Easter.

The Hollywood Hills storm could bring some much needed snow to the foothills of southern California, as far south as the hills of San Diego
The same storm will impact west and east of Chicago and will impact much of Massachusetts on Tuesday. They can't predict the amount in Massachusetts at this time. It's slated for 4-12 inches. And they expect to have a more accurate forecast later tonight or tomorrow.

No winter weather in the 10 day forecast after this Saturday. Let us pray this forecast holds up.
I know what you mean, I just snuck in a 10 mile tour this afternoon, it felt very good to stretch the legs. It's been a long 2 weeks since my last real fun ride. I think the cold weather causes my lower back to lock up, but it's finally limber enough to venture out doors.

might try to get out tonight, before the snow much later & tomorrow because I can't ride when it's deeper than a few inches, unless what I'm riding on is plowed
