Wisconsin winters are so looooooooonnnggggg. April 18 and snowing like crazy. My area got 11.5" Sunday, while Green Bay had 24". I have yet to get the bike out for any sort of substantial ride. Still haven't been able to ride to work. I don't know why I stay living here.....

I've been asking my wife that same question for years now. I had a new bike delivered last Thursday. I took it out for a 15 mile ride before the storm hit. We got about 21" here. Wonderful Wisconsin.

We don't know what winter is anymore here in Denver. Been warm enough and dry enough to ride all winter.

Bah, you just got snow, here in Southern Ontario we got one of the worst ice-storms since 2013. My car was covered in ice. I slipped and fell and hurt my right knee, I'm limping everywhere.

I've managed to get almost 300km riding since february, but April? hell no.... Ice-storms.

I like northern Az. too. No jobs for the wife there though.......here in western Colorado is just as bad! We had 6" total this whole winter!! I haven't experienced a winter this mild ever. I came over from the Denver area and I believe this is the mildest winter they've had in many years.

I've lived in the desert for the past 11 years (and my entire life in SoCal before that). I'm perfectly fine with high heat/low humidity summers, since I don't have to shovel heat for 3 months!

That's a good time to ride when it's that hot. No pirates and no chance of rain. Just don't get stuck in traffic.

Heat doesn't both me, humidity doesn't bother me either. Always happy when summer hits.
