What - it was colder here in NC? I started at 6am to go to the gym on the way to work. It was 32F. One downhill stretch at 20+mph was quite chilling.
I don't know why a driver has to pass when a stop sign is so close. I've had a couple of times where they attempt to do this, but don't get back over and end up in the middle of the lane. Usually it is a low traffic enough area that they can just go, but they are definitely blocking anyone that may have been trying to come in.
