We\’ve got the chill factor today! All right, not as cold as in the above pic; but certainly cold enough for me.

Yesterday it was warm for December; it reached 71 degrees, and it was overcast all day. The forecast was for rain and T-storms overnight; and strong wind (wind advisory!), with dropping temperatures today.

This morning, at 7:15, it was 53 degrees. Strong wind of 23 mph. It was still overcast; and I hoped any further rain would wait until at least noon. I had errands to run!

By 10 am the temperature had dropped several degrees; and as of noon, the wind is still going strong. There\’s even a gale warning out for small craft, and the sky is still overcast. But by evening it should be clear again; and it looks like I might get to go for a ride tomorrow!

Not in the park, though. On Christmas morn, the youngsters with their new bikes are likely to be out in force at 6 am; I\’ve seen that in the past. I know they\’re excited, and eager to try out their \”wheels\”; but let\’s face it, that can make things perilous for other riders. You never know when a child might suddenly swerve out in front of you!

On second thought, I just checked the forecast. The chill factor tomorrow will still be in the 30s. Along with our usual high humidity, that will make it bone-numbing out there. I might have to be content with a spin in the trainer.
