OH BOY!!! SNOW!!!!
Its been showing for close to 12 hrs snow. There is over 2 ft of snow that has fallen since this morning. Being a complete ******, i went out biking in this mess. ANd i realize a couple of things: 1 . The City of Syracuse has the worst snow removeal i had ever seen. There was at least 6in on the street and even more on the side walk. 2. I had no studded tires so biking in this mess was crazy.
It was fun though, as i biked around campus i see bunch of people sledding down the hill. I trek my way up to the top to see whats good. I get to the top and these girls challenge me down the hill. It must have been a good 100ft to the bottom. It was steep but i wanted to do it anway. I had my full face helmet on so any crash wouldnt be so bad since it would be on soft snow.
Lets just put it this way...those girls schooled me 3 times. I was sliding down sideways on the hill most of the way down. Ah..the joy of snow. It feels good to be a kid.
