Bussed to work yesterday due to chest cold and general feeling of crappiness on weekend. Snow was forecast for this morning, none when I started getting ready, snowing like crazy when I left the house. A winter wonderland if this was December, a pain in the arse in April!. Finished my ride before the salt trucks showed up and messed up everything, but the slicks and snow combined for a few anxious moments. Crossing the snow covered steel deck of the lift bridge was very similar to skating with never- been- sharpened skates. I was moving, but no guarantees on which direction. An intelligent person would have walked the bike over the bridge, but... I made it without capsizing or colliding with anything. Hopefully last snow of the season, supposed to be +7 C (45 F) this afternoon, so this stuff will be gone today!
