true.

and as a 4 season bike commuter in chicago, that applies 4-fold for me.

weather is everything when you're out in it everyday for 8 miles every morning and then again every afternoon.

not all of them. my office was open through all of the recent polar vortex non-sense.

in fact, in the nearly two decades that i've been working here, there has only been one single day where my office was closed due to weather, and that was back in the big groundhog day blizzard of 2011.
