Got soaked on the ride home yesterday from steady showers streaming up from the South Atlantic. Heavy rain when I got up this morning with the same expected to continue all day, so I drove. When I left work yesterday, the radar seemed to indicate a window in the showers and I thought that I might make it home unscathed. However, it started sprinkling, then drizzling and then pouring within just a few miles, so I pulled up under a tree and put my raincoat on. It was so warm outside that the raincoat was really too much clothing but I don't like riding in soaking wet clothes. I also had to remove my glasses so I could see and rode all the way home without them. Like RidingMatthew said, I couldn't live in the Pacific Northwest or other areas where it rains all the time. We've had about 5 days of continuous rain and it's expected to continue through the weekend, and I'm about to go crazy.
