The weather is still nicer, more springlike than it has been. More people are out on bikes cycling together. They are taking advantage of the good weather. In theory we could have rain in the next few days but the likelihood, as usual, is very low. An app said that it could be 90 percent certain, but I think it is 100 percent unlikely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Frozen Fountain Water\" class=\"wp-image-8217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093-scaled.jpg?resize=660%2C880&amp;ssl=1 660w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C853&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/img_1093-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Frozen Fountain Water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the entirety of this pandemic I have hardly seen any rain, and if it did rain then it cleared up by the time I went for my afternoon walk. If we were not in a pandemic then I would love this weather, as it would mean going on adventures every single week. As we are in a pandemic it just means more people to avoid when out on my daily walks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As things are going I think this spring and summer will be an unsafe one because those that should be working towards covid zero, are being complacent now that hospitalisations are declining.
