December Weather in Austin
- It was ALMOST like this today

Winter in Austin can best be described as ‘unpredictable’.
Yesterday’s bike ride in to work at noon (after a dentist appointment) : 79°F and Sunny.
Last night’s ride home from work : 53°F and Windy.
This morning’s ride in : 31°F and SNOW!
Ok, the snow wasn’t on the ground or falling from the sky as I was biking in, but it was on the cars driving by, so I’m counting this as a day biked to work in the snow! It’s probably the closest I’ll get the rest of this winter.
You’d think it would be miserable riding when it’s that cold, but for some reason, I couldn’t wipe the grin off of my face this morning – I really like cold, sunny mornings when I ride in. Cold at night on the way home, I can do without, but in the morning, there’s something about it that makes me smile.

There is a lovely bike path in Painesville, OHIO, where you can ride your bike in the snow almost all the time from November 1 to April 1. And the mornings can be sunny and very crisp!

I would hate to ruin it by having too much (and in the case of Painesville, OHIO, it would be waaaay too much) of a good thing!
