Post run ride home

Did our turkey trot around Lake Mercer this am. Nice run. Looking forward to some good thanksgiving fixings this afternoon.

It's still November, right?

It looks like it's all about which you want to believe. My various phone weather apps list temperatures in our area between 18 and 15 degrees this morning. The thermometer right outside the kitchen window says 17 degrees, so a degree or two colder isn't unbelievable. The truck thermometer is off, but did drop two degrees between the house and the bus stop. So 15 degrees is quite possible.



 

 

I don't remember it ever being in the teens before late December or January since we've been here. Checking the Washington Post, it looks like the record cold for today was 20 degrees at Dulles in 1990 and 18 degrees at Reagan National in 1891. They also say this is the first time the highs have been so low this early in the season since 1996. Remember the blizzard of '96? I wasn't here, but I remember. Come on big snow!

My run today will be awesome. Might wait for mid-afternoon so that it'll be in the thirties at least.
