FB: You forgot about lake-effect. That's exactly what got me last night.
Last night it was actually a very strong squall coming off Lake Erie--the only squall in all of Upstate. We were at the eastern end of it. It petered out just east of the city.
BTW, I bought a bottle of your lube the other day at Bike Zone in Greece. I had a $20 coupon that had come as part of the goodie bag at the Highlander.

I didn't forget lake effect. I figured that Buffalo's snow made national news more than "lake effect" and folks would form a better mental picture of your weather.
I wouldn't feel bad about the end of the line. The record stands as it is, but the number is just that , a number. I assume you're riding the bike is because you want to. Every day you ride to work is another day that you're not driving to work, and one more boost to your condition. Riding is about riding, not counting. Anyway, you now have a number to beat, and a new goal.
BTW- thanks for the lube purchase. Let's hope it's half as durable and persistent as you are.
