El Nino

Well no riding this weekend. The weather guys have been talking about an El Nino, courtesy of global warming and the effect it will have on Texas weather until about March of this year. We are supposed to get above normal rainfall. Which is a good thing since we have been below normal for some time. However one would think that global warming means warm....

This weekend we had the rain, quite a bit of it, but it is also cold, but fortunately not so cold that everything is frozen. Close, about 34 degrees. I think tonight may be worse though. Yesterday it stopped raining long enough the streets were able to dry somewhat, but today I think we will get rain longer, and its been cold for a couple of days. Likely that the roads will start to lose some of that retained heat they have had.

Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day but most people are working, myself included. Will be an interesting travel day no doubt!
