Pleasant commute home tonight
Moderate temps.
Enough fresh snow to smooth and brighten the ride without making it too much work.
More fellow commuters than I've seen out in awhile including one who wished me an enjoyable evening as he dropped me on his cursed Bianchi Volpe
Very nice.
At times I long for spring but Winter has its moments that are well worth experiencing.

I curse you and the Volpe rider for having cool weather for the commute. In Miami, this year there was a winter of one day. I am beginning to believe that global warming is possibly real.

Sounds like the ride I am about ready to enjoy this morning.
18F with 1-4 inches of snow. Looks lovely outside.
Going to play on the trails. According to our news the streets are slick as heck with accidents everywhere.
That and I am a wuss concerned with my own safety.

Miami usually has much cooler winters than this one. The average temps so far this year are 5-7degrees f warmer than average. That's just enough to avoid the comfort zone.
I had wrongly anticipated arriving at work in relatively dry condition for at least a few days. All my dreams are dead!

It was a beautiful 68° today in DC, and a great day for training and commuting. It'll only last a couple days and then it's back to the cold/wet February we all know and love, but one day in bib shorts and short sleeves jersey was enough to satiate me for a week or so.

It's pouring right now in Detroit and about 33F. I hope it gets a lot colder by morning honestly....pelted by ice at 30F is worlds better than soaked at 33F.
The weather service is waffling at the moment....maybe freezing rain, maybe sleet, maybe 5-8 inches of snow by midday. I suspect an interesting commute come morning.
This has been a wierd winter, BTW. We keep having snow and cold punctured by warm spells. When the warm spells break they do so with a bang....thunderstorms, wind and then snow.
We've had like, three periods of thunderstorms since the new year....crazy.
