Kind of an unusual winter so far here in South Dakota. Started with an unusually late hard freeze that didn't hit until the 2nd week of November, which was more than a month later than usual and more than a week later than the previous record.

Then we proceeded to get about 30" of snow during the month of November spread across three or four different events, but about 26" of it falling in two storms.

When December hit, the temps raised back up in the mid 30's for a good chunk of the 1st half of the month, which effectively melted most of the snow. I switched back from my winter bike to my regular commuter.

Today we had more snow, and the forecast has the temps falling back to our normal December single digits in the next few days. So I'm back on my winter bike.
