Well the coldest weather that I can remember since I moved to Oregon is about to hit. I moved here 14 years ago, so this is a pretty rare thing. The temperature is not supposed to get above freezing for 5 or 6 days and the forecast for snow actually seems legit (unlike normal). Looks like it is going to be a rough week of bike riding.
