Winter Sucks

Still no real accumlated snow. We're currently getting a snow/rain mix that will turn to straight rain later this afternoon. This is the top end of the huge weather front that's pummeled the east coast and has now mostly gone out to sea. Winter 2024 in NB, warmer, less snow (so far) and no tornados ... I'll take it.

We got a couple of inches, but the rain melted it away the next day.
From snow to sleet to slop to snert piles (snow + dirt) in just a few hours.

"This system will likely produce more than a foot of snow"
woohoo rock!

Blowing snow and subzero cold
This storm brings the season’s first transition to deep winter. High winds will cause blowing snow and difficult travel across most of Minnesota.

I spent a Winter in Northern N.D. at -32F, -36C, walking to school, with Christmas in norther MN. What is interesting is that -40 is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit. That is when you toss boiling water into the air it immediately freezes. What sucks about today is that I can't get anything done. I just want to ride bikes and read books in the sun. I have three bikes I need to work on and I haven't done anything! The sunshine is too alluring to be inside. Gott 'a get out. The latest book for reading in the sun is Classical Mythology fan fiction produced by a total babe & genius Ph.D. teaching the Classics at U. Penn. I am such a moth to a flame when it come to big brained beautiful ladies. Sucker. I can't help it.

The prairie forecast tomorrow is going to be dangerously cold. The ski hills are even closed. We’re likely about 20-30 degrees below normal for this time of year. Right about now -15C might be considered an acceptable temp to ride. Those are some wicked wind chills.
How cold have you had the 21700 pack and how much degradation have you seen? I'm riding a Grin 750wh 52v battery with 21700 cells and while I haven't had it out very often below -20C (-4F) I have ridden regularly in -5 to -15C (20-5F) and haven't noticed a big drop (maybe in the 10-15% range).
I start out with a room temp pack and my rides aren't regularly over an hour. The pack is made up of NCR21700A cells in a Hailong down tube package. One thing I do have in my favour is the BaseRunner controller is integrated with the battery and while I've never measured any temps I believe it is warming the battery a bit.

Interesting idea. What BMS are you using?

-25C this morning. Too cold to even ski. I do have the polar wax out if I decide to get brave.
Wind chills down to -35C today. And tonight and tomorrow will be even colder.

I haven’t opened the packs. I can’t answer.

@Prairie Dog! Minus 53C in Lloydminster!!! Penguins in Antarctica probably can't survive that.
I am 1/3rd of the way into that book when I realized it is homo-erotic; What?, so the joke is on me.
Here is more of that fluffy white stuff. What is really weird is at the same time we have trees full of dead leaves with emerald green hills.

The first, KOA, is in Petaluma, so you can take the train and a ferry to San Francisco or Angle Island in the middle of the bay to bike.
