Oh man, tell me about it. I don't expect a huge amount from December here in Western Pennsylvania, but this year the weather has been diabolical.
I try and ride whenever it's possible (no snow or ice on the road) and usually expect problems most of January, but so far December has been utter crap. I've moaned about it here: https://sullybiker.wordpress.com/tag/winter/ |

I know a guy that lives in Sudbury. Another one of my friends lives in Nelson, BC.
The temperature in December has been crazy this year all over North America.

I'm not sure but I think this may be Spud. I hear it's getting a tad cold up there.

It usually just pours rain here, but we actually got snow last week that stuck around. No precip this week at all, and it got down to about 20F last night. That's not really cold at all, until you throw some humidity in. It is then an unshakable cold. I grew up in the Prairies and have experienced -40 temps, but at least you could come in and warm up.

OK, that hurts my feelings! I feel highly offended and unprivileged. And don't even get me started about my winter-related heritage, which is even more offended... P.S. Just in case -

-16F in wondrous Granite Falls, MN last night. About -5 this morning. My last day on this job for the week, so heading home tomorrow in a winter storm warning. The eight hour drive appears to be closer to twelve.

We will be going to Minnesota next week for Christmas. I don't look forward to the cold. Southern Kansas is generally not too bad even though we are predicted some single digits mornings this week.

My gripe every year in Yuma--it is quite chilly on my morning commute; the past few weeks in the low 40's (Faranheit) down this way. Worse, since we don't change our clocks ('Arizona Time') it is dark; middle of the night dark. Going home in the afternoon is what you guys would be jealous of, however.
That being said--for 6 months of the year, it is HOT on my afternoon commute--110+ (Faranheit) daily for 6 months. Mornings are in the 80s and light out, so I guess I can gripe about it year round due to the extremes I encounter.
