I'm not sure if anyone else is feeling this, but there is also the psychological/mental challenges of commuting in this weather. This morning I woke up and saw the dusting of about 3 cm of snow on the ground. Light stuff, nothing serious, and I could have totally ridden. But I didn't. I couldn't get over the psychological barrier. I thought about having to go through the rigmarole of gearing up, riding under potentially dicey roads, then gearing down, and then doing it all over again in the afternoon, and it filled me with anxiety and dread.
We have another big snow storm/freezing rain storm coming tomorrow and Wednesday.
Here's hoping for an early spring.
