According to Weather.com the actual temperature is 34˚, and with the twenty-one mile an hour wind it actually feels like 22˚. Better still, it's been steadily snowing. Little flirtatious flakes of snow that don't even seem to make it to the ground, but it's the first snowfall I've seen in five years.
While I didn't ride into work this morning (woke up late, weaseled The Girl into taking me) I did bring Isabelle, my new (voluminous) messenger bag, and layers of warm clothing. I hope it's still snowing when I have to make my way home.
The temperature doesn't give me pause as much as the wind. I'm heading West and that wind is going to be right in my face. Hopefully that means I'll be that much warmer, working against it.

Five hours later and I'm finally getting ready to head out. In half an hour it will feel like 22˚. Wee!
See you on the popsicle side.
