How is the weather where you are?

Marlene Blanshay

Has spring finally arrived everywhere, and is everyone getting out? Of
course, in places like florida or someplace where it's warm all year, what
the diff?

Here in Montreal we've gone from a freezing april to three days of temps in
the mid-70s. Some people have told me they've only been able to get out for
one or two rides! Myself included, due to a delayed season. However, we've
also had gale-force winds. On friday it was about 25C (74f) but winds
gusting up to 80k, so getting out on the road wasn't much of an
option.Yesterday it started out looking iffy but ended up nice and sunny,
but quite humid, and at this time of year you're not used to it. I love warm
humid weather but 50k had me cooked! Plus it was only about my fourth ride
of the year

May usually means the start of the nice weather but it can be iffy, with
plenty of rain and often very windy. THe first long weekend is later this
month, and hopefully it'll be a nice one. Last year I went for rides all
three days!

Today it's raining, and it's supposed to cool off to normal temps, which is
fine with me, it's too warm at nights. But spring is here at last!

We had a couple of windy days here in Vancouver, too. We just had
a streak of the best kind of weather. It rained last night, though,
and today looks like a mixed bag of sun/clouds/showers. But I like
warm, spring showers. They're nothing to cower from, bundled in
a bunch of rain gear. Unless it really pours.

We're quickly coming to overnight low temps around 10c. Time to
start thinking about putting in some bedding plants.

Rain, rain, rain! *grumble* *snarl* *grump*

I haven't gotten a good long ride yet. The only nice days have been when
I've been working. Thursday being the last example. Oh, I did ride a little
after and my commute of course but this is my long weekend of and it's
continuous rain!

*waaa!*

No, spring has not arrived. Winter has. And it sucks.

Here in north Texas, there's not a cloud in the sky after yesterday's storm
blew through on its way east. Temperature is about 75 F with almost no
wind. It's just a gorgeous day with all the wildflowers sprinkling the
roadsides with reds, yellows, and blues, and the trees and grass wearing a
sparkling coat of green. All our days should be like this!

Beautiful in Denver today - about 65F (supposed to be 72, but never made it).
A bit chilly yesterday, but got a nice ride in both days. Went out with the
wife today for a purely "recreational" ride. Was fun.

In replying to a message, you type the answer at the top and include the
prior message below.
I dislike reply messages without the prior message, I have a co-worker
who does this, and It can be confusing without the context.
When you read the individual messages, it makes sense and that is why I
do it.
When you are trying to comprehend the entire conversation by reading
just the latest message, it takes a bit of work to read the parts in
order.

Just got back from the hardest 45-mile (road) ride I've ever done.

East San Diego County (Descanso to Kitchen Creek to Sunrise Highway and
back). Mid 90's and dry.

I'm a lobster.

Didn't a lot of that burn in last summer's fires?
