Now the sun's come out and at my work you'd never even think it'd been raining. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=783#post-6841 Wed, 12 May 2010 10:30:15 +0000 SRD 6841@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has everyone seen the pentlands? I think the cloud was too heavy for me to see them before. they are WHITE!</p> <p>when i came for a job interview in July, we packed hats and gloves, but didn't ever actually need them. came pretty close though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=783#post-6839 Wed, 12 May 2010 10:15:01 +0000 chdot 6839@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Snow in June is not unknown"</p> <p>I predict that for this year too! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=783#post-6838 Wed, 12 May 2010 10:13:02 +0000 cb 6838@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My 10 min ride to Haymarket wasn't too bad, despite the very heavy rain. My waterproofs (jacket, trousers and over shoes) aren't great quality but they can cope with a 10 minute deluge.<br /> The worst bit was getting onto a much busier than normal train and not being able to spread stuff out a bit to dry off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=783#post-6837 Wed, 12 May 2010 10:10:11 +0000 Kim 6837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Snow in June is not unknown. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=783#post-6830 Wed, 12 May 2010 09:31:05 +0000 SRD 6830@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had thunderstorm-like rain all the way, but did see cars with snow on them. My hands and feet were frozen, and I got chilled when I stopped for nursery drop off half-way. Shower felt very, very good ('luckily' I'd planned for shower at work since bathroom at home currently consists of one wall and toilet...). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=783#post-6829 Wed, 12 May 2010 09:22:10 +0000 Min 6829@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Huh yes what was all that about? Thought it was pretty cold and miserable, was still surprised to see the snow though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=783#post-6828 Wed, 12 May 2010 08:44:09 +0000 amir 6828@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>First time commuting for a week due to an achilles problem. What a welcome back! Still the shower at work was good. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=783#post-6827 Wed, 12 May 2010 08:19:16 +0000 chdot 6827@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks nasty out there. Glad I'm not going out for an hour. </p> <p>Sun over East Lothian, might get here by then(?) </p>
