in my old riding logs, in February of 2009 I rode over 500 miles.
sounds like a pretty mild February that year, too.
This one has been mild, BUT....the ground was still frozen this morning. There are some years the farmers have already turned their fields because the ground wasn't frozen. So this one is mild, but we've had even milder than this a few years ago around here
but where we are here in the Mid Atlantic, it all depends on the upper air flows. We can have warm, mild winters like they get in Georgia, or we can get an Upstate New York Butt Freezer
it all depends on how far down the jet stream dips
out west, my mom and dad say they are going through probably their worst winter in a decade
