Right there with you. My temperature variations are complicated by working 12 hour overnight shifts. I can ride in on a sunny afternoon and come out in the morning to find it freezing and windy. Every now and then I forget to check the forecasts and am caught short assuming that the clothes I wore for in for the afternoon commute would be adequate for early morning ride home.
