The ride to work was good, it was snowing but surfaces were predictable. It's fun having better acceleration traction than the motorists
Coming home was not so good, there's dense chunky snow on the side of the road. It's also criss-crossed with tire tracks from vehicles that pulled into or out of the parking lane, which means I have to constantly be watching, anticipating, concentrating, adjusting... bah, I sent the street department an email. <Jedi Mind Trick> Plow The Bike Lane. </Jedi> At this rate, I should take "the long way" every night.
Of course, tomorrow we get another 2-6 inches of snow, so I'll mainly be hoping to hit the "sweet spot" in the plowing cycle.
