I got soaked on my way to work

 Happily the "cold front" only dropped the temperature from the 80's to the 60's.  

I reached 2 conclusions:  1 I would buy a dry outfit at work (I got drenched even with the poncho and umbrella), and I will keep a dry outfit in my locker.  

I did have dry socks in a ziplock which worked very well.  

I may also look into rain suits.  Ron used to wear one to work in San Francisco winters, called himself "Rubber Man" when he did, and said he stayed pretty dry.  Storing it might be problematic at work though.  

That's it for now.
