The forecasts have been highly inaccurate here lately. Last night the forecast was -17C in the morning and a high of -15C. When I woke up it was -10C and the high had been changed to -9C.

I rode my mountain bike to class today, the brown sugar on the edge of the roads is difficult to get through without losing control. I need to phone the city to see if they will clear the last few sections of the MUP. Avoiding the one unplowed section means having to drive on the streets for an extra 3km. The clouds were just right this morning so the city lights illuminated the clouds, and the clouds illuminated the snow, allowing me to see clearly on the unlit MUP.

The cycling lane on the last stretch of my trip is pretty much non-existent. Car tire tracks intrude a quarter into it, so that's where everyone drives and the right half is filled with snow.
