Hah, I can't believe I'm the first poster in this discussion today. Normally, a couple of others have beaten me in to work and posted here before me, I guess they've been hit by Frankenstorm.

First day of snow today but my initial trepidation of riding on the thin layer of snow was gone when I realized that the snow only stayed as snow on the grass and cars, the roads were still at or above 0C so there was just a bit of wetness on the roads. It was 0C today and I decided to get out my fat gloves and wear them: my hands were nice and toasty. As usual, the rest of my body was warm and a bit sweaty by the time I arrived at work but not too bad. My toes were fine until the last 1km when I was riding into the cold, snowy wind: the wind chill must have gotten through my toe covers, shoes and wool socks.

We're not expected to get any effects of Frankenstorm but Toronto, 4hr drive south, will be getting 50-100mm rain (2-4") and winds up to 90kph (55mph). The wind today for me was 30kph from the North and between some buildings and hills along the way, it must have gusted up to 50kph.

Have a good day everyone and safe ride for those on the east coast.
