Cold, but no snow!

I think even the kids in school are glad to not have snow.

Missed getting hit by this last snow storm!! As it often happens, the storm moves in from the west and when it hits the mountains it gets pushed north and south of Asheville. We seem to always get our best snow when things come up from the south. More snow in the forecast later in the week, guess time will tell.

Speaking of weather, snow, rain, etc. As someone who enjoys the outside its been tough this year with all the precipitation. Roads have lingering snow mounds and the temps have been less than conducive to road riding. The Mtn bikers are suffering too, the woods are still snow covered and the few days that warm up it becomes a muddy mess for riding. Most of the guys I know try and keep off the trails to keep from damaging them for future use. Running is the same way, too sloppy to trail run. I am SURE the Mtns to Sea is snow covered still. So, with me getting back into running, specifically trail running, well...... Its been the damn treadmill, no fun. Throw on top of that the fact I have ridden inside on the trainer for the past what seems like 2 months and well it gets old.
