Will Spring Ever Get Here?

Today is like the only Spring-like day in the forecast, and I am stuck at work. By the time I get out of work, it will be raining.

I am allergic to cold, so I can't go on any real rides until temps get up to about 50, but I decided to bite the bullet and scheduled a very short ride for Saturday afternoon (4-5 miles) and I planned to be layered with piles of clothing, and have my epi-pen with me. I just couldn't wait any more. I knew it wasn't going to be warm enough in the mid-30s, but each day the forecast for Saturday is getting even colder. The current forecast is that it will be 26 degrees with 18 mph winds... Honestly, I think I am going to have to cancel, because I can barely handle those conditions walking.

I envy those who can ride year-round (as I could when I was in California)!

Looks like it will be April before I can get my first ride in...

Is there anyone else who is almost losing hope that Spring will ever come?
