A Change in the Weather is a Coming

Enjoyed a beautiful ride into work this morning, though it was on the chilly side. Evan's ears were getting cold, so buying an ear band is in order. (National Weather Service shows it was about 36 degrees and SSW winds at 3mph. Sure felt like it was a little harder than that, though). After reaching Evan's school, I continued on toward work. It was such a beautiful morning that I stopped in the middle of the Steel Bridge to take a few pictures. Wonderful winter light.





View west toward work on the Steel Bridge multi-use crossing.








The ride home was significantly chillier and, of course, coming from the east so I got a head wind. (NWS report 40 degrees, with upto 21mph winds bringing a wind chill down to 30 degrees). Funny though, even with just a light, long sleeve cotton t-shirt and my medium fleece I was still overheating.
 




Long shadows of winter, wonderful light and shadows.








Weather reports are a bit finicky, we are suppose to maybe get some snow, freezing rain in the next day or two, then, so far, temps will rise and we will have just plain rain. Will see how my bike commuting commitment goes if we do get the snow/freezing rain. Can be rather crazy out riding with the cars without weather challenges.
