50km/h winds this morning so I decided to pass on the commute today since I would have been riding the mountain bike. I was out yesterday morning on the mountain bike for about 2 hours. The 26 x 2.35 tires I put on it handle the plowed but snow covered MUP very well. Even riding over not plowed, but foot trampled sections posed little challenge. I'll ride some more this afternoon to try out the clipless pedals I added to it last night.

Unfortunately with all the snow we've had recently, the parking lane on most roads have all but disappeared. To be on the road means being in the driving lane almost full time.
