We're expecting a front to move in today. Before I went to bed last night I checked the weather forecast and was pleased to see it said I would have a tail wind for the ride to work, and then after the front moves in I would have a tail wind for the ride home. That's as rare as a Yeti sighting.

This morning after I got up, I was annoyed to discover the front is moving in early and that the wind had already shifted. However, it was projected to only be 2 mph during my commute so although it was a head wind, it wouldn't be too bad.

Nope. By the time I got on my bike the front was arriving. 20 mph headwind that grew stronger as I got closer to work. In addition, there was a light drizzle that wasn't at all in the forecast.

They're predicting 40-50 mph winds and snow starting about 11 AM and lasting through the evening. Most of it is supposed to hit northwest of the city, but we're supposed to get about 2".

However, with as accurate as they've been so far today with the wind and precipitation I wouldn't be at all surprised if the system shifts south and we get the full brunt of the storm. Should be an interesting ride home. First snowy commute of the season.
