Yes, it’s really a drag. Yet again, things are looking uncertain for tomorrow morning’s ride and, in fact, for Thursday’s as well.

The forecast is for rain and even T-storms. That really isn’t surprising, considering that it’s unseasonably warm for February. As I type this, it’s 72 degrees! No wonder people used to use the term “weather breeder“.

Today I didn’t ride to work. I needed to pick up something at the drug store this evening; and if I ride straight there from work, I’ll have that heavily-loaded bike trunk to deal with. That, like iffy weather forecasts, is a drag. If I go home first, I’m too liable to want to stay there.

So, after work I hiked over to the store. A block or two before I could get there, it began misting a bit. By the time I got out of the store, there was a light drizzle. I donned the poncho and walked home. Since I got here, it\’s gradually raining harder.

I’ve wished often enough that I could “read” the weather. It would be handy if I’m out on a long ride, and forgot to check the forecast beforehand.

We’ll see what happens, but it doesn’t sound so good. Just before I left work, someone was telling that schools were cancelling classes. It would be nice if I did’t have to go to work — because it can be a real drag.
