You know it's cold when...

the break handle on your motorcyle snaps off.

Kris's company actually gives them MLK Jr. Day off. Realizing that everyone else he knows has to work, he and one of his buddies from work were going to go for a ride. When I got up this morning, the thermometer read 16. They waited for it to get above freezing before heading out, but obviously this was not warm enough for the break handle.

Kris was riding around the first corner of our neighborhood just like he always does, but the tires and the road must have been too cold as the tires started to slide, the bike laid down and skidded about 30 feet before it stopped. Kris came home with just a few scratches on his coat and gloves and no harm to himself. I was just glad it happened so close to home.
