What a changeling weather is! Ours has been quite capricious just lately. Maybe it’s because we’re currently in the Capricorn zodiac sign date range?

At any rate, day before yesterday the morning temperature was around 39. Over last night it got up to about 57 — nearly twenty degrees warmer!

The wind wasn’t nearly as strong as on Sunday, so riding wasn’t bad. I didn’t need as many layers; and I didn’t have to fight so hard against said wind. Alas, a big change is in store!

This afternoon the high was about 73 degrees. Tonight, it will go down to the low 60s; and there’s a good chance of rain or even T-storms. The wind is strengthening, too; and that doesn’t make me very happy.

Tomorrow will be another high-in-the-morning day, with a cool-off as the day goes on. Then, tomorrow night, down to around 38 again; and strong wind besides. Luckily, severe weather isn’t expected. But geez, what a changeling atmospheric conditions are!

Thinking of riding in that cold and wind makes me want to groan. I’m not thrilled about riding in the rain, either; especially when the temperature is below 80 degrees. Add strong wind to a downpour, and I can hardly see where I’m going; even in the daytime.

I often hear people complain about these frequent changes in the weather. “You never know how to dress!” is a common remark. They’ve got a point. As for me, I keep the cold-weather cycling gear handy.
