A Portland Chinook

I know chinooks in Portland aren't really possible seeing as they don't have the snow to melt and you wouldn't be able to see a chinook arch from the clouds, but today was what I would describe as a "Portland chinook". The rain just stopped and it warmed up all of a sudden, it was great! It was still cloudy but was a nice welcome from all the rain this past week.

I know what you are all thinking... "what are you doing living in Portland if you already need a break from the rain?". Well there hasn't been a whole lot of rain but I am just not fully prepared for it yet . I still have to put the fenders on my bike and get a bit more rain gear. I luckily do have a couple of pairs of rain boots now. Every time I put them on they make me smile! I mean I need some way to make the rain enjoyable!


I have decided however that my brothers have the right idea. Working out in snow is much better than in rain, I mean snow is cold but rain is wet (yes that is an obvious statement). Working out in wet is way worse than working out in cold! Which again is why I need more rain gear before I am fully satisfied with the rain out here.
