Thursday, 9 November 2023 23:04I feel like I'm gonna super jinx myself by saying this but we've been having gorgeous driving weather and I've never been happier to commute. It's just below freezing, so the road dries super duper fast and doesn't really form ice, it's overcast so we have visibility for weeks, it's almost calm and it's quite dry so I'm not having to deal with weird wind conditions while driving.
My only wish would be that it would be just a hair colder, actually -- the road being so near zero still warms up quite a lot after a few dozen tons of truck cross it, and my tyres aren't super performant when warm, and as long as it doesn't get super windy a few degrees colder doesn't really matter as far as what I have to wear. Literally the only bad part of the commute rn is that I don't like driving 80 (partially due to it being dark and partially due to the harder tyres making some rough parts of the road unbearable) but because it's so clear and nice, most people with bigger headlamps and two tracks don't have to deal with the same problems as I do, so I'm constantly forced by traffic pressure to go juuuuust a little faster than I'd like ti.
