Yup. Still in the mid-high 90's here too. Cooling coming mid next week, hopefully

finally raining here - need the rain
been very dry so I’ve been avoiding the limestone paths and dirt roads
did see a couple of bikers at an area trail - raining fairly hard at one point but they were near the halfway point of a 42 mile ride

stinkin cold weather - temps in the 20’s and windy 
bikes parked - doing some short hikes
not much better next week - low 30’s with chance of snow later in the week
the next week could see some temps in the low 40’s (hopefully)

Down here in Texas it should be warmer and dryer than normal. Up north it may be a bad winter.

Weather is very spotty. Here in Toronto, Canada, we didn't yet get any snow this year apart from few flakes and it is dry and mostly sunny, while in a number of nearby places as I noticed in news, they are buried in snow with high winds, other places like in Europe, they have floods.

While this isn't great weather, it's better than what I'll be facing in a month or two.

(going out for a walk isn't a bad option, though)

thought I might get in a short late day ride - before this evening / tomorrow when temps drop (further) and snow heads our way …
if not maybe a short hike …
but it’s cold and windy (AF) … might be around 30 degrees but feels more like 20 …
so … fuhgetaboutit …

few inches of snow on the ground and windy (gusts > 30 mph) - could be mid-40’s on Sunday but need a warm up before this to melt the snow (or it will be more hiking
)
prefer the paved trails at this point because the crushed limestone paths can be soupy / almost like quicksand in some softer spots when ground thaws after temps were below freezing / ground was frozen
the area roads (including one area park bike path) are salt covered

It is going to be below 20°F, for the major part of the next couple of weeks, here in the Midwest.
I just rode 32 miles in 25°F and below temperatures today. Will be doing another 32 miles, in another 4 hours or so, on the way back home.
