Yesterday was pretty cold, in fact I think it was colder riding home after work than it was riding to work in the morning. On the ride home it started to sleet and once I was home it came down pretty hard and sideways for a while. I think that if were only a little higher up we would have had snow. I was half expecting there to be a decent amount of snow on the ground this morning when I woke up.
This kind of weather is probably the worst for camping in. You can't even enjoy a fire as it is so windy and the rain is coming in sideways. Being trapped in a small tent in this weather would be no fun at all, that's even if you could manage to get the tent up in the first place. Just riding the bike in this weather can be a challenge in itself. If there is a little rain and ice on the road and then the wind blowing you all over the place, it wouldn't take much for things to go wrong pretty quickly.
I've had a pretty good run with the weather when it comes to riding the motorcycle. For some reason I seem to miss the big rain showers when they come through or even if we have a day or two of solid rain, I'm either travelling for work or have already planned to have a holiday or something. In the end I don't think that I've ridden in anywhere as much rain as some of the other riders at work who also commute daily. I'm sure the time will come where I'm stuck riding in the rain for several days in a row, it has happened before but not for a while.
I've purchased a bag of wood for the firepit and seeing as I'm not on call this weekend, I think I might fire it up if the weather permits. Saturday night is meant to be looking pretty good at the moment so I think I'll try and do it then.

I wonder what ideas I'll come up with around the fire this year.
