You know you can get weather on the TV, radio, newspaper, and probably your cellphone, right?
If this was a try at a first commute, I totally understand not going. No sense in starting out miserable. After a few years of this and with the right gear, I look out the window, check the radar to make sure I'm not riding into a monsoon, put on the right stuff, and go. 2 days ago it was rain with 40MPH winds from the northeast, my direction of travel to work. The ride home was sweeeeet.
