    4 degrees here. Sun is out but the wind chill is the problem, taking the temp into minus figures.

    Still weighing up the options, if not I'll hit the gym for a couple of hours.

    No such thing as too cold, just the wrong clothes. Did a quick 50km in glorious sunshine and very little traffic.

    Out in the lower Peak this morning and in parts it felt like i was riding through an alpine pass, clear roads but alot of the lanes had drifts on both sides with some over 8 feet. Bloody cold wind though.

    Went out at 6am this morning to do 65miles. Was nice and sunny going over the south Downs. Heading inland, by the time I had got to Battle at 9am it was snowing!

    Sunny here too. Snowflakes the size of dinner plates earlier on, but not lying.

    I'm thinking if I pretend all day that I'm not going out, then have a surprise last minute change of mind, I might actually manage to get out before it decides to snow again.

    Sunny yes, but very windy out there. 38 miles was quite a slog http://app.strava.com/activities/46299932
    Some of the snow drifts are incredible.

    I vaguely remember a long time ago when the temperature was in double figures.

    The other day felt tropical as it got to the dizzy heights of 5 deg C.

    Now I'm used to the temp being -2 to 3 deg C on a daily basis. The thought of the temp being above 10 deg C is crazy.

    Just got back from a 9 miler,i know it isn`t a lot but for me it is progress.

    The sun was lovely on my back and only towards the end did i feel a little headwind but nothing uncomfortable.A very enjoyable ride was to be had.After the last few weeks it felt like the tropics. :D

    Managed to get out for an hour of hill reps this afternoon without it snowing. Very sunny and just a little warmer than recently.

    I think someone, somewhere has appeased the cycling gods and I would like to thank them.

    You'll know it's you if you have recently bought a full winter kit/expensive turbo/holiday abroad.
