I've been at home with a really nasty cold since New Years Eve, so this was my first commute for the year. That cold is still very much with me, so I considered driving in. However, there is also a forecast of snow for evening rush hour -- not a good idea to take a car, given that traffic is immobilized under those conditions. So, off I went, making the first tracks of the year on an unplowed portion of my route. Very easy conditions, and just beautiful. We have about 3" (7 cm) of snow now.

Result -- I feel the best i have in a week. Good cold medicin!
