The February Tease

February, cold and snowy. Again.

Usually in February we have a few days where the weather gets very spring-like, but it looks like we’ll get through this one without that little gift.

Not a big deal really, but it’s funny how missing that little teaser in February makes us all feel so tired of the snow and the winter. Worse, March and April are the snowy months, so it could get lots worse before it gets better.

Of course, I selfishly want the warm dry weather for training, as the snow and cold make it hard to spend much time on the bicycle. But its more than that really.

Like a dance, where you move close to intimate contact, but are held at bay, providing the jolt of excitement at feeling a tease of what might come later, but not quite touching it. In the same way, that little February tease always brings me quite close to the wonderful feelings of Spring that are just around the corner, but I can’t quite touch…

Fingers crossed for just a couple days…
