Mostly because I mounted my Nokians and fenders and wanted to give them a trial run.
1 1/2 miles into my commute the rain started coming down in sheets, the wind picked up and the lightning let loose!
To #*!! with that 40%! I turned around, took a hot shower and drove to work!
Yeah I got rained on a bit this morning myself (okay, torrential downpour) and without fenders or rain gear too. It's above 50, so I don't mind getting wet. It looks like there is a chance for a dry commute home tonight though even though they're saying 68% chance of rain tonight. Who are they kidding with 68%, why not 69%. Dorks. Anyway, stay dry, and if you can't stay dry, stay warm.
