The First day of the New Year... Updated!

And it's starting out cold.... Maybe not as cold as some places this morning, but still cold!




OK, so acting upon Martha's question about COLD, I did some "Google-ing". It seems tht I'm very close to the cold spot of Wisconsin. About 40 miles south of me, in Sawyer County, is the little town of Couderay. It has the distinction of being on the books as having a few cold temp records for WI.

3-1-1962 .... -48°F
12-19-1983... -52°F
2-2-1996..... -55°F
2-4-1996..... -55°F

The little town of Winter, just 15 miles east of Couderay, is listed as the coldest location ranked by lowest average annual temperature: 39.2 F.....That's chilly!!!

  5. Sounds like a warm week ahead, upper 20's and possibly a 30 or . I see no previous for 10 days.

  6. You certainly are cold. I think your area is consistently the coldest in the state. What do you think? I'm sure the stats are available. I'm aware that I'm moving to a colder spot inland now.

  8. Erik:

    sounds like you should move North to Fairbanks where Richard is. He's basking on the beach right now. We were about 30°f this weekend, but with the fog it was chilly

  10. Happy New Year to you and Nancy, may 2013 be the best riding year.
    That's damn cold, I prefer hot weather, I want to move south even though there's beautiful places to ride up north.
