The ride home yesterday was pretty yucky... perhaps the uglist I've had so far. Everything closed early, including my office, so I was out by about 3:30 or 3:45. It was liquid rain when I left. Within 5 minutes I was being pelted w/ ice and frozen rain and an icy, slushy, snowy mix was building up on the ground. It had reached about an inch in depth by the time I got home closer to 4:30. At one stop early on, I put my right foot down in a puddle that was much deeper than I thought, so I rode the rest of the way with a very wet foot. Wool socks don't help too much when everything is sopping wet b/c it had already been submerged in cold, slushy water!

I figured the MUP wa still a mess since it doesn't gewt plowed and my side street, which was plowed, still looked pretty bad. So, I went multi-modal today and rode my bike the .75 miles to the metro from home, locked it up and took the train in to work. Same routine in reverse headed home. I'll miss the longer rides today, but I know conditions would have been much less than ideal. Today's mileage on the bike will total... 1.5 miles! :-\
