Lots of activity/exercise this month compared to last year. Saturday was really low wind and numbingly cold temps so I decided to check/hiked a few places out for riding on Sunday which turned out fun and a blistering high of 10F with winds 10-15 - great for kiting but kind of hard to see. The snow started coming in at the end of session...

And yesterday I decided to head out again to a local lake after we got a few inches of snow. wind was 10-20 with blowing snow and temp ~3F - Session was for about 1.5 hrs. If it's above 0F I'll consider kiting, below that is just too hard on the hands and feet. Everything else is ok tho at that temp except I start to get concerned about some of the kite parts and pump maybe breaking...
