A fleeting gift

Technically it's still winter. The spring equinox is not too far off, but given that the change of season seems to lag the equinox, today was either a gift or a huge tease.

Late afternoon warmth... it was 70 degrees out when I rolled down the road on my bike, supporting my first ride of the year in summer cycling clothes. I was lightly clad in shorts and a short-sleeved jersey, just a tad off my usual summer sleeveless attire. And I was warm and comfortable, a wonderful feeling.

The forecast for the next few days signals a return to winter - including the possibility of significant snowfall. But for today? I'm sending thanks to the weather wizard, along with wishes for more days like today.
