We are beginning to remember why we always sleep more during the winter here - the mornings are rather cold, hovering around or just below zero, and, worse, they are dark. The sky doesn't get light now until 6 a.m. or so, and it is dark again before 5 p.m. This means that morning rides are shorter, and evening rides are pretty much non-existant.
The reward, however, is that we are nearly gauranteed dry, clear weather every day; and once the sun rises, its warmth can be felt for the whole day. Other seasons here are generally overcast and/or rainy; winter, on the other hand, in winter we can plan long weekend rides which are not too hot or too cold.
Oh - right - and we really don't get snow here.
