the MUP had been plowed/salted, but not thoroughly, there were lots of "snow drift packed down to ice and rutted with footprints" patches, especially on the bridge underpasses.

so glad i was rolling on studs, even though i didn't need them >95% of the time.

26 degrees, light W wind, heavy overcast. not bad at all for mid-january.
