Buuurrr!!!! The Windy City I think that Chicago is a little colder than where we live but either way it's freakin' cold.
I'd stay where I was at as well, if I were you!!!

ZX12Girl, I'd have to say Detroit and Chicago are REAL close as far as ass frezzein temps in the winter. Used to make a weekly ( for 5 years ) trip out of Florida to Detroit and unload at the Fort street market (I think thats what it was ,been awhile,Exit 45 on I-75) or the other produce market ( can't remember name,but I remember the place REAL well). Then a day later was in Chicago or Wis. to reload. Can vividly remember stand on the dock in Detroit at about -10 many a early morning. About the only differance I can recall is in Detroit the wind is blowing MOST the time and Chicago it is blowing ALL the time. Both even get their share of lake-effect weather. The only thing else to say is Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. .

Every year it gets harder to keep my streak alive of riding every month of the year.

I wasn't bitching at all....I was just making fun of everyone who doesn't have 75 degree weather every day of the year. I'll make more fun come January.

You couldn't pay me enough to move back to the Left coast. My home state of Illinois sucks too. I gotta get to a non-communist state that's warm.
