Wow! That's quite an obstacle.

Nothing like that in NC. We got mostly sleet and freezing rain in the big storm, so it melted pretty quickly once the sun came out and temperatures rose above freezing.

Yesterday was one of those incredible winter days we get in NC, sunny with high temperatures about 70 F. It's a little chillier today, but temps are still supposed to reach the 60s. I had a nice tailwind riding to work this morning, after fighting the wind yesterday. At one stoplight a young woman who looked very familiar was crossing the street in front of me. I quickly realized it was my daughter, just arriving at her place of work. I rang my bell and surprised her. That was humorous.

I had another stoplight happening that was my first ever in nearly 10 years of commuting. Three cyclists (including me) converged at the same red light. I rarely ever see other bike commuters on my route, and when I do they are usually traveling in the other direction.
