I liked that :-) I always carry rain wear with me on any ride over a few minutes. And hope not to have to use it :-) Yesterday's grocery run: The ride started with me saying "Come on, ride with me. There's only a 15% chance of rain. And the sun doesn't set for an hour." The ride ended with both of us sprinting home through a downpour, generator headlights supplementing the illumination of the lightning flashes. It gets amazingly dark under a thunderhead. Fortunately, the computer screen verified that there was only a 15% chance the incident had actually happened. She forgave me. Errr.... Can't you just look up when you go out doors and get an idea of what the weather will be? If it were that easy, we wouldn't have weather forecasters. I once bought a pretty little book, _Instant Weather Forecasting_ by Alan Watts. It features lots of basic explanation of weather phenomena, followed by a couple dozen photos of different cloud types. Each photo has an explanation of what would cause that cloud type, and what weather could be expected. BTW, I first came across the book in the 1970s, and figured the knowledge would be very useful on long bike tours. In practice, when I started doing long bike tours, I found it far easier to check the newspapers; then later, the Weather Channel; and nowadays, my smart phone app. Not that any of them have been perfectly accurate, of course! -- - Frank Krygowski |
