I feel better knowing that someone else here is experiencing this as well. Hopefully we'll be through this by the weekend.

What do they say, something about a "brass monkeys *****". Way too cold for me. Took my TT out on Sunday & it read 22 degrees. The tires felt like they were made out of concrete until they warmed up a bit. The turbos love the cold intake though.

After weeks of 45* weather, it is now feeling like Ohio again.. 2 days of rain and sleet, with temps in the mid 30's, and now tonight it will drop into the low 20's with a high wind and snow advisory..

Gotta love snow pack on top of black ice!
