Not that much of a swing in the same day but close. It was 18 degrees this morning then nearly 60 on the way home.

Last Friday was an absolute commuters nightmare, with freezing rain coating everything. Studded tires were a must. Darn near busted my butt getting off the bike.

Today was so beautiful it gave me Spring fever. Luckily here it's supposed to last throughout the weekend. Chomping at the bit to ride the road bike!

Sorry; 7f on Mon morning, 57f on Fri afternoon, ~20f swings per day until it landed on nearly 60f. Not terribly unusual for these parts, but certainly wild. The weekend prior saw the city approving some small lakes for ice-skating...not so much anymore! Temps are steadily settling back down to the 20s for am, 40s for pm. Looks like we'll be this way for a couple of weeks. Dry, though. Not bad riding weather at all.
