The weather is back to seasonable temps today after a week or so of above-normal temps. The temps during my morning commute were in the low 50s, which seemed downright chilly after the upper 60s and low 70s we've been having lately. I actually prefer the chillier temps, particularly in afternoons. It starts getting up into the 90s way too early around here and I would like to put it off as long as possible.

Fortunately we escaped the worst of the terrible storms that wracked Alabama and the rest of the Southeast. I drove yesterday because of the dire forecasts, but the weather wasn't that bad except it was extremely windy with gusts over 40 mph. I actually could have ridden my bike but it's wise to be cautious when dealing with severe weather.
