    You know I won't cancel until Wed. the 22, two days after the equinox, and the official first day of spring. I'm just trying to get a feel for the majorities schedules.

    If it helps I definitely canceled this morning ride. There is 10" of new snow on the ground and it's 6 degrees outside. Now I just have to decide should I go to the St."P" parade in Scranton or do I go cross country skiing? Maybe a morning nap will make my decision making easier.

    How does May 7th look????

    2 Sunday's I can't make...April 30, and May 21st. All others are doable.

    Thanks Wayne, at least we now have a promise of at least 2 days of temps in the mid 70's and totally rain free!

    Today's forecast: This morning, as I write this, it's 6 degrees F warming to 28 later this afternoon. Tomorrow morning should be warmer in the lower 20's. UPS is currently scheduled to deliver 10 to 16" of snow starting in the evening.
    The delivery is only a little late by about 2 months.

    Where should we go on May 7th ??

    Well, are we ruling out April? This month doesn't look good right now. I want to ride...anywhere, anyplace, the sooner the better. We're getting a blizzard Tuesday. This will set back riding for me for two weeks. Not too happy!

    Now you went and did it! I was hoping on sneaking up on April and purposely did not mention riding in it. Last year we planned through March and April but didn't get the ride in until mid May. I believe last year's thread was one of this site's longest. Notice I didn't mention June.

    PS: I still haven't ruled out, March 26. The long range forecast looks perfect!

    OK, it's starting to look a lot like Christmas now! We got 30" of fresh snow yesterday on top of the 10" we had and this morning it's 9 degrees outside. I probably won't be riding or washing my bike today.
    If you think we have it bad you should see the poor deer. Not only do they have snow above their chest but they are now leaving tracks in the snow with 4 hoffs and 2 testicles.

    The 26 is now starting to look doubtful. Maybe we should start looking seriously at April 2 ?

    Ok by me.....the 26th shows rain/snow and 40 degrees. I was out either way.

    Looking pretty glum up this way. Friday is 90% chance of snow with 1 - 3 inches. Friday night 100% chance of junk. Saturday is 70% a.m. rain/snow. Saturday night clearing late with the temps a balmy 29*. If this report holds true through the weekend I'll have to pass. I don't mind dressing in layers trying to keep warm, but I don't want to look like the Michelin Man either. My initial plan was to ride down Saturday and grab a room in Matamoras. Then meet with you guys on 4/2. I like to allow 6 - 7 hours from NH to there. Since my operation hopefully my bathroom breaks will be fewer. Hopefully the forecast will change.
