My commute home was in the first snow of the season. I was in messenger kit, shorts, tights underneath and a wool sweater with polypro under that. My front half was all white by the time I got home (10 miles). It's suppose to turn to slush tomorrow, so my commute to my real job won't be too bad. But it does mean different tyres and a different bike, one with fenders.

This is really cool!

Well... I don't know if I'd call it "really cool", it's more like "cold" but it's manageable. I was looking at your icon and it reminded me of a conversation with a friend this morning that the Midtown Greenway between 5th Ave and Hiawatha won't be completed until next year now because of a hangup with Hennepin County. I'll have to admit about the snow, it should be an interesting ride home.

I would normally say I am jealous, but it is sunny and 78 here in Ohio today. About 30 over the average. Wish there was more daylight .

Sounds cool! We have around 8 inches in the ground now. Still snowing.
We are not expected to get above freezing until perhaps next week.
I am waiting on parts for my new commuter bike then I'll be joining your ranks!
I really can't wait!
