-4C with a 9km/h SW wind so not bad at all. Rained for much of the day yesterday (high of 14C, record high for Sudbury on Nov 12) and then dropped through the late afternoon and into the night. A bit of ice on the surface of the road but 99% of it was just a thin layer adhering to the contours of the surface. However, I saw a 1m wide flat icy spot too late to do anything but ride over it: fortunately, it was a shallow puddle, only the surface had iced up and I rode right through it.

A bit of salt on the road which I didn't mind when on the newly paved sections because it kept the surface moisture liquid. Too little salt to worry about what it might do to my bike.
