They keep moving spring back. Every time I look at the extended forecast it is supposed to get into the high 30s+ five to seven days from now. It has been that way for the past three weeks. The warming trend is always coming but today we have "one more day" of unseasonably cold weather. Well today I woke to actual temps of -10F and a 15-foot pile of snow running along the length of my 50-foot long driveway. It looked and felt more like January than the end of March. We often have cold snaps during the spring but this year winter not only wouldn't let go, but struck with a vengance. We got more snow and impassable road conditions in the last four weeks than we get in the average entire winter.

So I checked the weekend outlook. Warmer (YAY!) but only to around 30F with a 50% chance of light snow Friday and Saturday with 18-20 mph winds (un-YAY!). Weatherman apologetically forecast temps of 30-degrees below normal for the next 10 days to two weeks and then topped it off by announcing that we have a 50% chance of major flooding this spring and a 15% chance of record flooding. Oh well, who wants to ride bike when you can throw sandbags?

Sorry, I know I have made several posts about our crappy spring, but there really isn't much else going on in my cycling life except for another week on the indoor trainer.
