The Weather Network said, "No accumulation expected from Sunday afternoon to Monday morning". After watching it snow all day I rode through 10-12 cm (4-6 in) of fresh powder and lots of mashed potato/cake batter snow. Almost lost it just leaving the driveway, and had to dismount once while climbing a small grade; I was following car tracks which had left the roadway and I lost traction. On the way home it appeared that the plows had cleared the road and that made for a pleasant ride. Driveway was still a bit hairy, though, and I'll have to get out and shovel it tomorrow. At least the snowfall made a great test bed for my newly-installed trekking bars; the more upright riding position made the bike feel much more stable in the snow.
