-11C with fresh snow, not a lot but enough to make riding tricky. The front wheel was floating on the loose snow and very squirrelly. I probably would have been better off with my touring bike with narrower tires today. I'm glad I left extra early so I could stay in the driving lane without having to frequently move over to allow cars to pass. The ride took 65 minutes and would have been longer if there was traffic. The path under the railway was completely blown in, so I had to walk that part.

One annoying thing about fresh snow, is that in the absence of painted dividers, drivers take the racing line through the curves, which means bisecting the curb lane.
