22°F with a 10 mph head wind. Light dusting of snow overnight and flurries this morning. The tricky part was that the MUP was still sheet ice in a lot of places, and the light snowfall covered everything so it was difficult to spot the slippery areas until I was on top of them. Slid around a bit even with the studs, but stayed upright the whole eight miles to work so it's all good.

About a mile into my ride my headlight went into low battery mode. I knew it would do this at some point during today's commute, but I was estimating that it would be about a mile from the end of my ride. I was riding so slow this morning that around the halfway mark I started to worry that my battery would go completely dead before I got to work. The last two miles were on busy streets, so I really wanted all my lights to better my odds of cars seeing me. I flipped my light into strobe mode which is much more battery efficient, even though it was still pretty dark out and the steady mode would have been more useful. Thankfully the battery lasted until I got to work.

I had a charger at my desk. The office lights were still out, and I had a moment of stupidity where I went to pull the rubber cover off the charging port but instead yanked the rubber cover off the switch. Oops. I plugged it in, and when I returned from my shower and the lights were now on I was able to get the switch cover mostly back in place.

[MENTION=134924]RidingMatthew[/MENTION]: I have a similar situation this morning. I keep a bike lock on our rack at the office rather than transporting it back and forth every day. This morning I arrived to find it so encased in ice that there was no way it was coming apart to lock up my bike. So I just left my bike on the rack unlocked. Our office is in a cul-de-sac on the edge of town so there isn't any pedestrian traffic. I'm guessing it will be fine as nobody is going to drive all the way out here just to steal my crappy winter bike.
