I have learned that if the weather is sufficiently iffy around here, they just close the office... and the whole University... and everyone closes everything else, too. So you don't ride. At least that's how it worked over the winter.

One morning, I rode in with 1.5" of snow atop .5" of ice. But the office was open, roads were sanded/salted, and traffic was flowing by the house. Slow and steady got me to the post office and then to work.

Then there was the day that big snowstorm hit the Triangle and we ended up with 6"... it started snowing at 11:30am Wednesday and everyone started bugging out. I stuck around until 1 or so and then rode home... again, just took it slow, aired down the tires, and moved to the sidewalk as necessary. Took me a half-hour to ride 3mi. They closed the university at 2pm and kept everyone away until Monday, by which time everything was clear enough.
