Consecutive commute number 199. Looks promising that I'll hit the 200 mark tomorrow.

-1°F this morning with a brisk head wind. Wind chill was somewhere around -20°F. The news was giving the typical "flesh will freeze within X minutes" messages we get most winter days in our area. I was completely covered except for my cheeks and my nose, but was generating enough internal heat that I didn't feel cold. Roads are still rutted ice from the unplowed weekend snow so I took the winter bike.

Encountered three idiot drivers in my 1st half mile from the house. The first close-passed me on a residential street at 40+ mph. The second passed me while there was an oncoming car, causing him to have to veer back into my lane directly in front of me. The third decided she couldn't wait 5 more seconds for me to get through an intersection and pulled into the oncoming lane before turning left. Thankfully after that I had no further encounters.
