First bike commute in two weeks due to a series of 4 winter storms here. We've still got snow covering yards and snow-plow piles on the sides of the street 5 days after our biggest snowstorm last Wednesday night. Temperatures have been mostly below freezing since then, so very little melting has occurred. I tried to ride on one of the greenways on Saturday and had to turn back after 2 miles because it was just too icy. The snow we got last week was very wet, and turned icy in the freezing temperatures, so it's not like riding through slush. Yesterday we had heavy freezing rain, which would have caused havoc if it had been a work day. There were a lot of wrecks early in the morning even though very few people were out driving. Hopefully the weather will get back closer to normal this week, but it's looking kind of sketchy with more "wintry mix" expected on Thursday.
