Rode across town over lunch to a client's location. Snow hasn't yet started, but it's snowing hard south of us and moving this direction so probably will be riding through some accumulation on the way home tonight.

Interesting observation from my lunch ride: I completely rebuilt my winter bike this last fall with all new drivetrain, brakes and cables. I installed a KMC "Rustbuster" chain. 9 weeks ago was my first winter ride. I've put 267 miles on this bike since the rebuild, and oiled my chain two times since then. I looked down as I rode today and noticed that my "Rustbuster" chain was nothing but rust.

Boy do they use harsh chemicals on our streets here.
