Anyone think that this is at all likely to happen?

Snow forecast later this week. Hey, it's November

A 150 mph jet stream is expected to steer a cold front through the Chicago area this week -- and maybe snow too.

The cold front should hit the middle of the week, driving lows in the Chicago area Thursday night to the low 30s, when rain mixed with snow is in the forecast, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Krein.

i SOOOO love the stickers this year!!!
and puttin in my vote for merino wool. that or cashmere. and it doesn't have to be the pricey stuff. spending a little while at marshall's or village thrift can land you some amazing winter gear [in some fabulous colors no less]

Some people don't agree that getting layered is the way to stay warm, and at least with high intensity activities in extreme conditions, there is a lot to be said for vapor barrier clothing. This might only apply for longer rides than the morning commute. Nonetheless, here's a link to a good pro-vapor barrier screed (and source of excellent camping equipment, too): http://warmlite.com/vapor-barrier

Here's a link to a bunch of hard core winter riders in Massachusetts. Check out the photo gallery and their cold weather gear tips.

Looked for the Bike Winter folks on Sunday but, er, wound up at the wrong coffee shop. Oops.

Once you guys both have your [ahem] "rain pants," I'd be careful about riding with people dressed as Native Americans or construction workers. It could be sending the wrong message.

Well done, Fred! Interested in organizing a sticker ride?

Also, a bunch of stickers and gaitors were deployed before Lee's Logan Square ride today.

I was thinking it would be fun to have some BW folks hang out at key commuting intersections in the next few weeks to give out stickers and winter biking encouragement. Thoughts?

I've posted around 50 stickers on bike racks in between Montrose and Lincoln to belmont and Lincoln. I'm going to need some more...

:)

What was the winning design for the sticker?
