We just get mostly rain here, which I've had my fair share of.

A couple of weeks ago I did my ride up to Portland... A storm was following on my coattails. Occasional snowflake floating down... but while I normally get a headwind for my northward journey, I had about a 15 MPH tailwind.

Temps were cold enough that had it been a headwind, it would have been a miserable ride. But, with a tailwind... it was like riding in my own little bubble, and the perfect temperature out.

Of course, those occasional turns and crosswinds were wicked, and unfortunately the last 30 miles or so was in the rain.
