24 degrees Celsius as at 23:30.
The top temp today was 33 deg C, sunny with a warm breeze.
Summer is on its way, at last and to my great pleasure.

Just on zero ... Freezing rain overnight and in the early hours of this morning means that the town is one big ice rink ...
Discretion became the better part of valour after watching the cars in the neighbourhood fish tailing around the streets - even if they were only going about 20km/h - so it was a case of running rather than riding to work today. Did see a couple of hardy souls on bikes - but they were taking it so easy that I swear I was running faster ... which is really saying something!
Roll on the snow and some good fun snow bike commuting!!!!

Snowing. Freezing cold.
And it says something about the mad Danish mentallity that I still saw plently of people riding their bikes through the snow...
Too bad... could've been fun having the biking lanes all for myself...

Snow/ice doesn't faze them up here either. They just swap the tires out for spike tires and go. Most impressive are the iced over downhill off-camber turns I've witnessed. A "4 points of contact" technique is used with booth feet down thru the turn...hardly slows the good ones down!RedheadDane said:Snowing. Freezing cold.

Not my cup of tea though. I hang the bikes for the winter and get the skis out

This is the bike path over the road from where I live. It has been warmer than this in recent days though, and quite a lot busier on the beach and (annoyingly) the path.

Hang in there! I'm with ya. Only 3 more months until the thaw!RedheadDane said:
I envy the warmth by krebs303 and even the winds near redtreviso (though 10 mph pacelines really suck).
Here is has been 0-15 F / -17 to -9 C (overnight lows), 15-21 F / -9 to -6 C (daytime highs), there's nearly a foot of snow on the ground, and it's snowing right now. This is a little unseasonal for us, but not impossible as we seem to get one of these about every 5 years. The last memorable one it was -F daytime temperatures and I was jumpshooting ducks along the river with my black labs. They retrieved one duck out of the (brrrrrr) water and we'd keep moving down river. Well there was over a foot of snow on the ground, and being so cold when the dogs would look at me all I could see was their dark eyes, nose, and mouth hanging open gasping for air. Their black fur coats were completely covered with snow that had stuck to the wet fur - no black showing. Snow dogs!
