Weather channel had a 70% chance of rain today plus it was heavy clouds this morning so I drove the Suburban to work.

I work 7 -4:30 and was kicking myself in the ass as it cleared up and was sunny. Until 3:30 when some clouds moved in.

about 4:20 I heard thunder as I was getting ready to leave.

I got into the suburban at 4:40, it was 78* and it was lightning towards my 18 mile drive home.

After 4 miles, it started to rain extremely heavily. By 5 miles, I had to slow to 15-20 mph because of the heavy hailstorm I was in. I was in pea to grape size hail and was wondering if 20 mph was going to bust my winshield. The temp dropped to 52*

A few miles up the road I literally considered pushing the button for 4wd as I was driving in 1-1/2" of hail on the road.

The roads were flooded and all kinds of debris had washed onto the road. A few miles later I was out of the heavy storm and by about 6 miles from home, the sun was out

Two miles from home the roads were completely dry and it didn't even rain at home

I guess I lucked out by not riding

I rode...but did not find out until after I was at work that it might rain today.

Ended up taking my bike home in the middle of the day to swap it for my car.

Either way I was excited to try out my new everyday riding pants.

but I ride every other day.

Why do you wear dress blues every week?
That sounds ghey. Maybe just leave 'em in your office and change when you get there.

it's because I'm in a training environment... though the entire AF has been going to "blues monday's" cause people fuck off and don't keep their uniform's serviceable.

I do keep my Blue's at work... but lunch... and the occasional trip across base... doesn't work. it's inevitable if I ride on monday... I'll have to go somewhere too far to walk.

I rode to work and only saw 2 other bikes on the road. I usually see more than that on any other day. I guess the 60% chance of rain put em in cars.

Same thing up here. I had to push through sinc eparkings an issue at one jobsite. I was riding yesterday no matter what.

For a brief moment on the way up here I did see that yellow round thing they call the sun I swear NY is turning into seattle with all the damn rain here.
