28F, 15 mph headwind and 2" of snow on the ground with it still coming down. Somebody bump the needle 'cause I think the record is skipping.

With the prediction of snow for this morning, I got up a 1/2 hour early so I could hit the road before traffic got too bad and knowing that I would be going slow through the unplowed accumulation. I was in the garage putting on my helmet when my wife came out and asked me to drive my son to school because she didn't want to be out in this weather. So I got in my truck and drove my son the 3 miles to school, then drove back home. It was a good reminder as to why I don't drive a car in rush hour traffic. Ugh.

Once I was back home I parked the truck and got on the bicycle for the ride to work. Wound up being about 1/2 an hour late, but most everyone driving was also walking in late as well so it wasn't a huge deal.
