I last rode the FoJ as he is affectionately now known on the last day of class for Fall semester, which was like December 12th or something. I had managed to make it all the way through the semester and only missed two days, one due to rain, and the other due to the threat of snow.
However, once Jack arrived, and finals got going, and the snow started falling like no tomorrow I was forced to park FoJ for a few weeks and hope that he survived the winter. As it turns out, he survived just fine and yesterday I was able to break him out of his winter hibernation and ride him to campus once more!
The temperature only has to be at about 30 degrees or higher for me to ride comfortably because of the layering system I use to keep warm, and my very nice gloves and helmet that keep my hands and face out of the wind. The problem was the stupid snow that just refused to melt in the parking lot and let me get FoJ out from behind the complex and into the dry streets of Provo and Orem.
That is all fixed now, and barring a severe drop in temperature, or a random snowstorm, I should be back in business which lets Holly have the car at home so she can run errands, etc, and allows me the freedom to run errand in Provo between classes if need be.
My scooter is freaking awesome!
