So took off since I knew it wouldn't stay hot enough to clear up fully. Its all good. We will get plenty of ride time during the year.
Freezing rain is not good, nor is snow. I'd prefer extreme cold to either of those conditions, but of course extreme cold has its own set of problems.
I did take my own advice today. With 20 cm of fresh snow fallen from Sunday I took the car, even though I probably could have ridden. Some of the side roads on which I ride would have been very tough.
No need to be a hero.
