5degC/41degF and light rain. Lots of different types of rain here--last night was small drops and lots of them, while today was more of a mist. Rain is fine--no headwind and not cold.

I commute underneath a huge crow-roosting site. They are most active at dawn/dusk and some winter days it's like a Hitchcock movie. Some evenings there are clouds of them coming from all directions, converging on this area. I've only had a crow hit the top of my helmet once, but it's crazy. The noises that they make is otherworldly. The wet path gets coated in **** every day, so you have to make sure your mouth is closed when you ride through the area. It's now light enough that they are not there on both my commutes. Daylight savings next week could change that, though.
