Sounds like my story. I need to drive north tonight (88 miles). I would typically ride my bike to work, then home, grab the car, and head north. But as with you, the high winds convinced me to just drive the car to work. Rain, ice, snow and really cold temps do not bother me a whole lot, but I hate high winds (anything which is supposed to gust above 20 MPH).
Call me a whimp.
