Yup!!
Ignore the talk and look at the percentages and the radar in motion.... that's what I use.
I love those who come up and say "you know it's supposed to rain today?" "Supposed to" is alot different than "is."
Let's see...
it is supposed to rain
...
it is raining
.... big difference in my book.

That's what I do, hit it right 90% of the time. I have rain gear for the other 10%. People at work ask me what the weather is going to be.

Rode yesterday, rode today, and plan on riding the rest of the week. Wish my Gerbing heated gear was working. It was a little cold this morning when I left the house at 5:05 am.

39 degrees when I walked out the door this morning. I need to find some neck wrap thingie and better gloves, otherwise I'm fine. The temp is supposed to get down to 30 degrees tonight, though.

Should have worn the Widder this AM. Brrr. But then again, when it's this temp next spring, I'll be tempted to wear my perf jacket. It's all about acclimation, I guess.

Yuppers! It may look funny, but it keeps the digits together so they can warm each other up. I've got a couple of pairs of insulated gloves and they are just too bulky, don't like 'em!
Let me clarify for those who might ask... no! I don't wear them all at the same time!

I rode to work that last two days. I start at 7:30 in McHenry. It was 42 (feels like 36) when I started. It was tolerable.

Yippie! The cord I was waiting for from Gerbing arrived today. I should be able to ride now until the snow starts.
