Got faked out by the weather forecast yesterday, only 3 inches of fluff but I rode the bus 'cause the weatherman said to expect up to 8. 17º and overcast today, with persistent cold temps keeping the roads from thawing. Which is cool; main roads are plowed and scraped smooth so it's pretty fast going, and I love taking off at the light and leaving cars behind as they spin out trying to move from a stop. It's really slick out, and everyone on the road was behaving; even had several cars wait patiently behind me for a block or two each in order to make a turn.
Saw this genius lock job as I went to math class today:
Wouldn't be so bad if the rider had looped the chain through the front wheel, so that at least a thief would have to carry it away and not ride it. Then again, it's a Magna; you couldn't pay me to take it (and I imagine that bike theft plummets with the temp, so probably not a lot of risk today).

also rides to work when possible? My wife drove me to work a few weeks back when we had 8-10" of snow. It's kinda frustrating riding a bike in powder, made me long for my skis.
Yup, she rode today even. Not as lucky as me, since I made it home before it started snowing, and she's currently headed home through some pretty thick snowfall. Snow riding is definitely slow going when it's deep or dense. Forecast is for 2-4 inches tonight, but at less than 20º it shouldn't slow me down much heading to work tomorrow. When it gets really deep, I've been known to ski to work.
