Decided I just wasn't motivated to fight the winter bike against that wind and for that long. Reset my alarm for 45 minutes later and went back to sleep. Got up and drove to work. While driving the wind was so intense it was pushing my truck around with ease and the snow on the ground was producing areas with no visibility. Saw the wind fold over a chain link fence around a construction site.

Yes, I'm a wimp for not riding. Today at least.
heh I've done that also. Wake up at 5... nope. Turn on the 6 AM alarm and go back to sleep.
