They say we will get our 1st snow storm this weekend (6 inches). I'm kind of dreading it but also - If its bad out Saturday, I won't have to take the family shopping, and I have those studed tires on my beater bike. . . Better get it out tonight and tune it up.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW !

Good luck, we are suppose to be getting snow tonight as well. Should make for an interesting night's ride home. Not sure if we are getting a lot of snow or not, all I've seen is "snow showers." At the moment there is about 1/2 inch since 4pm, so I don't expect much more tonight.

Yeah, we're supposed to get snow too. I'm kinda looking forward to it, but I feel a bit skittish about dealing with bad drivers who aren't quite used to it yet. I may stick to side streets for a week or so until people get used to the idea of riding on ice and snow.

As much as I like it, the idea that i'm going to be covered in brown salty new york city snow that'll probably eat through my bike faster than acid kind of worries me...
