It's far nicer here than there!
The weather reports are that Denver is under another severe weather alert again today. Just this time last week, the city was being assaulted by a blizzard that shutdown the airport, dumped four-feet of snow on my deck and caused the governor to call a state of emergency.
According to the weather channel, the high temperature back home today is supposed to crest around 25° and the snow will be falling between 1"-2" per hour until sunrise and continuing to fall, though less intensely for most of the day! (Please remember that as I sit here in London writing this, it is around 23:00 back home in Denver and the sunrise is a good eight hours away.
By contrast, it is a lovely day here. The temperatures are going to fall off a bit from yesterday's highs in the mid-fifties, to crest in the mid-forties today; that's about thirteen Celsius. It has been foggy for the past few days but dry. Today they are predicting it to start raining.
Yesterday, I got notice that there was a package for me at the post office. I took a ride into the Kingston/Surbiton Mail Delivery center to collect the package that was too big to slip through the letterbox. It was a nice ride to a part of town I haven't been to before. Unfortunately, I seem to have picked-up a nail or a piece of glass in my bike tire.
This morning I have a flat! Drat! My bike shop closes on Christmas while the proprietor goes off on a three-week holiday! I'm gonna have to find another bike shop! Quick!
I hope wherever you are, the weather is beautiful and there's air in your tires!
