In a few months, 93 degrees will be the overnight low .

Looks like I can wear the mesh jacket to work the next few days, overnight lows in the mid 60's .

You lucky people. Here in the south-east corner of England we've just had 7 ins. of snow. For two days could not get my car over the flood bar at my front yard entrance. Today, and as far as the forecast goes, the temperature is about 10 deg. F below normal for mid-March. R65 been in the garage for weeks now.

For a change the weather in the north west of England is not so bad as in the south.  Still my bike has only been out 6 days in March so far. March must have been very much milder last year as I managed 23 days in the month.

About 34 degrees and pouring rain this morning.  I had intended to bicycle, but I wimped out and rode the R65.

My bridge was very icy, but luckily rest of the roads were OK.

At 1830 saturday, it is 77 F., 1% humidity and a dewpoint temp of -33 F., it's a rarity we see this low of humidity this time of year .

With a 10 mph breeze it actually feels cold, it's amazing what a lack of moisture in the air does .

Yeah.  Last summer we went on a whitewater raft trip from Metolius on the Deschutes river.  The temp was over a hundred F., but it felt really comfortable.  Good day for a sunburn, but I wore a hat and long-sleeved athletic t-shirt.  I love it.
