Difficult commute this morning. My legs were tired, it was colder than I anticipated and there was a persistent headwind. I had brought some coffee in an insulated container, and for the first time in ages I got green lights at all of the long traffic signals. Thus, I didn't get to drink any of the coffee. Despite all that, it beats driving. It's a sunny day with supposedly a 0% chance of rain, something that the forecasters don't say around here much anymore.

I got lucky on my commute yesterday. The forecast called for a 30-40% chance of rain, mainly in the morning, but there were no showers on my ride to work. During the day, the forecast changed and they were calling for a 70% chance of cold rain during my afternoon commute, and a large mass of showers showed up on the radar about 1-2 hours before the end of my work day. However, the showers amounted to just a few sprinkles and totally fell apart by the time I headed home. That was nice.
