Wednesday, December 26, 2012. Second big storm of the season today. This one started about 6am with about three hours of sleet and snow. At 2pm we had about four inches on the ground, deeper in some spots. Rt 161 was bad. I had to ride down the right tire track cause the shoulder was stacked with plowed snow. I would ride and bail as cars came up from behind. I did that all the way to the river. Not quite two miles. Any unplowed sections were impossible to ride on. I stuck mostly to the tire ruts or any plowed streets. The deep stuff would just make me squirrel out in it and I’d have to walk. The ride home only took me an extra 20mins. Temperature was 33f.
