When you get stopped by the local news crew for an interview during a snowstorm that shut the city down.
Honestly, it did happen to me. December 2010 we had a real bad storm. I made it up and over Sylvan on a road bike with 25s and as I was coming down the other side a news crew asked me to stop give a quick interview. I can't remember the station, but it might have been Channel 6. Snowflakes the size of dollar coins, freezing temps. I was the only one that made it to work. After that people stopped asking me if the weather was too bad to come in on my bike. My wife still thinks I am nuts though.

You are trying to decide whether to spend the evening making studded tires that you will maybe only use 3-7 days a year, because you are going to ride in one way or another!

You can say that the coldest weather you've ridden your bike in is in the negatives (Fahrenheit).
