For weeks now, ever since I got my 650, I've been religiously tuning in The Weather Channel every night when I go to bed and every morning when I first wake up. So far they've accurately prepared me for the day's riding.
But yesterday they predicted showers, so I left my bike at home. Guess what -- not a drop fell during the time I was at work. I could have left my Ranger at home.
Last night they said the weather today in Everett would be partly cloudy. This morning it said mostly cloudy. No mention of rain or showers, so I rode to work.
An hour after I got to work, the rain started. That was 5 1/2 hours ago, and it's still falling. I leave in 4 hours, and I didn't bring any rain gear. Drat!
Looking at the Doppler RADAR, it's only raining in a narrow strip right across my position. Seattle's dry. Marysville's dry. But Everett is Ever Wet!
