Now my morning commutes are threading my way through the ice ruts. Evenings are fine, the roads melt down during the day and are just starting to puddle & ice up, but by morning everything is frozen solid. The snow banks are trapping the runoff on the roads so every low spot floods. The late night traffic makes the ruts for me for the next morning, except that keep shifting slightly in location. Now the potholes are starting. I hope those road crews can get out soon. For now, I'm glad I left the stock front shocks on VR. The jolts are hard on my bad shoulder.
