Good morning..... 50 degrees, dark and rainy. It's only getting to be 60 today so I wore long sleeves and rode a cage to work (AARRRGGGHHHH!! ). The forecast calls for rain off and on for the next 3 days. Yuck.

Geoff, 2 degrees??? I know you're talking centigrades but still THAT IS COLD!

Here it's getting a bit chilly at night, but still pleasant during the day.
10am here and 61F or 16C. Nice and sunny.

I need my 10 o'clock coffee now....

It's chilly ( 50 ) and rainy. I decided to ride anyways!

My fingers got a bit cold due to not having winter gloves yet.

40 (F) @ 6:00 this morning, mostly sunny and breezy. We had a good wind last night, and I woke up to a 6" drift in my driveway (Leaves). Most are down now.

Chilly is relative. When I lived in northwestern Indiana chilly was when it got near/below freezing this time of year. Now that I live in Memphis and have been here since 1998 ( from San Antonio for 2 years as well ), my body has grown used to warmer temperatures so this time of year 50 is very cold.

Besides, 50 in the rain with summer gloves IS cold. Without the rain it wouldn't be an issue.

I heard you guys got hit with some snow already. Yeah this weather is crazy. It's going to be 18c tomorrow.

Did you have cake for me? I forgot to tell you I wanted two pieces 'cause that's what I wanted, and none of that "I'm on a diet piece" I like my slices big. So I hope you work out twice as much for me also. All that cake will make you gain some weight.
