Yesterday was another snow day in Vancouver. The main roads were clear, but the side streets were a mix of ice and frozen crusty snow. I left the house with the intention of riding my long route, but a couple of minutes made me realize that all those side streets would cost too much time getting me to work late. Showed up at work a half hour early today. I'm hoping it really rains today to clear up the roads for the ride home. My wife let me commute 5 days this week, but I have to be home in time to pick up our son at 5.
