Snowed 1-2 Inches at the house. Shoveled the walks and driveway. It was 23F, but felt warm compared to the 0-5F of the last few mornings so I biked in.

The snow looked dense and wet, but it was lighter than it looked and speeds were almost normal. Coasting was even possible. So the first 4 miles were amazing. There were a few gusts of wind, but they seemed to be in my favor.

Then on the other side of the river, about 2 miles from work the snow was 3-4 inches and heavier. I had to work the last 3/4 mile. But it was almost 30F by then.

Due to some remodeling to the rear outside lower level door which is 12 feet from my office, I've had to use the main entrance and roll my bike past a lot of my younger co-workers (which is almost all of them). I was greeted by one young gal who filled the front work area with an "Oh my G-d! You biked today!!!" Made my morning.

I felt like I was dragging the last three weeks, and there's been a lot of illness running through the office, but today I feel strong and right, and the ride was pure joy.
