Sounds like hell froze over. I'll book my flight to come see you.

I wore shorts to work yesterday.

I was sitting here thinking it's cold... but of course, it's in the 60's here...

It's been really cold in the mornings lately. Below 40 most days, near, if not below freezing a couple of times. The only thing I really need to wear on my ride to work to protect myself is leather gloves (and actually, since they ended up saving my hands from damage after my fall, I'll be sticking with them even as the weather warms). Without those my fingers do end up hurting like hell. Other than that though, I've continued to wear the same shorts and thin shirt I wear on the hottest days. Doesn't bother me one bit.

Grrrrr!

It's above freezing here today.

All the hard packed snow we have lying about is now the consistency of a Slurpee. Makes it hard to walk anywhere.

That paints a mental picture of you riding to work stark naked except for a pair of gloves.

It was freaking cold this morning. 38 when I left home. My fingers hurt, even through my leather gloves.

But I suppose the ride could always be worse:

OK, here's another question. I always rent a car when I go to Des Moines. In case they are needed (fairly decent chance), would the rental company supply tire chains? Do they put them on if there is snow on the ground?

No one uses chains in Iowa. There are no mountains. The only places I've seen chains used are in the mountains. People in cold climates either have all-season tires, or switch to some sort of snow tire for winter.
