It’s finally starting to feel like the kind of spring we’re accustomed to.

Though Friday may not seem like it, what with the 2 cm of snow that’s going to fall until the afternoon, but with a high of 2 C and low winds, that snow will turn to rain before it ever hits the ground. Saturday is where the weather really starts to turn for the better, with a high of 7 C and a mix of sun and cloud. Sunday will be even warmer, with a high of 13 C, despite the persistent overcast doing an eclipse impression.

Personally, I plan on using this weather as a chance to get out on a bicycle for the first time in nearly a decade. Let’s hope I don’t break a leg!
