I had to be at work early today, so I was already planning on being on the streets at 6 am. Glad I was that early, before car traffic picks up on my routes.

1 inch of new snow over frozen rain ice, untreated streets, and a 25 mph crosswind. Kind of a tough slog with variable drift thicknesses, but not so bad in light early morning traffic. Definitely a good workout for the legs.

This winter has been brutal so far here in Illinois. I normally like cold weather, but I'm ready for this garbage to end.
