10% chance of rain
01/10/17 at 09:26:25
There was a 10% chance of rain this morning but the temp is upper 60's lower 70's so I decide to ride to work.
Guess who found that 10%!

I searched 3 weather apps and listened to 2 news channels looking for a glimmer of hope of riding today and didn't.
Glad I didn't.

There is no rain near Denton, TX and the temp is almost 70 degrees.
I just returned from a rural ride. A return to mental health.....
Be careful there is a lot of turtles crossing the road.

I feel for you Joer0952. I know the heat can get deadly here in Houston, but I can handle the heat, but I am really bad with freezing and snowy weather.
A little bit of rain when it is warm .... no big deal.
It was nice just getting a chance to ride. I feel for you guys that are rained or snowed in.
Kenny, glad you got to enjoy a ride today.

90% of the time I get 100% drenched from those 10% chances of rain.

I always forget how much I hate the winter in the summer and how much I hate the summer in the winter. I wish I could find a place that is early spring, late fall all year round. San Francisco would be close but that place is becoming a hell hole LOL

My general rule of thumb is that if rain chances are 20% or less, it is ok to risk it. This is the first time a 10% chance got me. It was really rather interesting as I was heading south on the HOV I had sun on the east and black clouds with some rain on the west. I was intersecting mostly sun but the rain got me in a few spots. When I finally got to an overpass I decided to put my rain gear on. Yep you guessed it, I did not hit any more rain after that.

That 10,20,and 30% will get you every time. The meteorologist get paid to be right or wrong. I'm always watching the weather for fishing and they sure do get it wrong a lot.
