Going to do a lot of miles today – have to get to Yellowstone before a cold storm arrives!
Here is what the Weather Channel is saying:

… A MAJOR CHANGE TO COLDER AND SNOWY WEATHER IS HEADED FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN WYOMING THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY…

… A COLD STORM SYSTEM OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA IS FORECAST TO DROP INTO THE GREAT BASIN ON THURSDAY AND THEN STALL OUT OVER THE SOUTHERN IDAHO… NORTHERN UTAH AREA FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY…

… SNOW WILL LIKELY DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAINS BY THURSDAY NIGHT…

… THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING WILL ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY…

… HUNTERS… TRAVELLERS AND OTHERS WITH OUTDOOR INTERESTS SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE WEATHER FORECAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. THE MILD… EARLY FALL WEATHER IS ABOUT TO COME TO AN END WITH A SUDDEN SWITCH TO WINTER CONDITIONS.

But then again – the Weather Channel OFTEN exaggerates in their forecasts – SEVERAL times in NY they would forecast rain one day and the rain would never get there.

In any case – don’t want to risk being caught in snow… probably one of the most dangerous things on the road is black ice… the bike simply “disappears” from under you.

Wish I had a thermometer on the bike to see if the temperature is at or below freezing point – I guess I will have to feel it 🙂
