Icy snow, kinda like hard little ice flakes on the way home. The streets were wet w/ some slush along the sides where traffic is lighter. Instead of snow flakes flying down my throat, I had ice crystals flying into my eyeballs which hurt. On the good side, my fenders worked mostly good at keeping the crap off me and the kool-stop salmons worked as advertised in the slop. It was still a good ride.
