Thank goodness seasons are only temporary!

I lived in California for four years and it seemed like time flew by so fast because there wasnt such a drastic change in the seasons. Being in Chicago, I love seeing, feeling, riding through the changes.

Comment by Jackie on March 1, 2010 at 5:41am
Haha, I like the seasons, I just would prefer winter to not be so long. And I actually am not sticking around for next winter. I think that I am moving to Seattle in September or October. At first I was going to move somewhere warm for winter, then move to Seattle in the spring of 2011, but I think I'm just going to go straight to Seattle - their winters are much more mild anyways.

Yeah, I dislike it when people in Chicago complain when it's too hot. I understand when people complain about the heat, and they are in Texas, but Chicago?! Come on!

After riding through White Out's , 12" of snow, Sub freezing temps and 472 Commuter miles in February, I will be happy for warmer days.
Riding yesterday in 35 degrees was a pleasant change. Those who don't like weather change should move. This is Chicago Midwest, if you don't like the weather...wait it will be different. I appreciate the different seasons. I said the other day "The first one to complain that it's to hot...I'm going to punch them in the Mouth!"

I took the snow tires off yesterday. My groundhog says winter is done, despite the light snow I was riding through this morning.

I was nonetheless loving the slicks.

I'm ready for late winter/early spring . . . summer has become my least favorite season.
