Carnage in Minneapolis as a snow squall during the morning rush hour dumped just enough white stuff to cover all the ice patches refrozen from yesterday's melted snow. Apparently there were over 100 pedestrians treated for falls, and bicyclists didn't do much better. I witnessed a couple of falls myself. It's amazing how that same ice without the snow on top can be managed easily, but once hidden, it lurks, waiting for an unsuspecting cyclist to ride by. (Also, a little snow makes ice _way_ slipperier. ). It was all melted by noon.

Next week: 60 degrees! Maybe I'll take the studded tires off.
