Rode the rock hopper with the studded tires aired up halfway for snow and ice. There were some stretches of snow and ice, but the roads were pretty clear for the most part. Worked a little late. Had to stop by the pharmacy on the way home before it closed so I didn't take the time to pump the tires back up. But I still encountered a lot of snow and ice in the shade so it all worked out.

Almost got hit this morning on the way in. I was on a quiet side street crossing another quiet side street except Google has been routing cars down it. I know because when I drive sometimes it routes me down it. Anyways I looked left. I looked what right. I waited for a car to pass. I looked the other way and I looked back and I started but a car was coming up. It must have been going 50 mph down a narrow residential street. I don't know how I didn't see it before then. Perhaps it turned onto the street from another Street, but I think it was just going so fast that I saw it a few blocks down and my brain said not a threat but my brain wasn't expecting it to be going 50 mph.

We're supposed to get a few inches of snow overnight and throughout the day tomorrow so I will be biking as driving in traffic and snowy conditions does not appeal to me.

Also, and I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, it's been frustrating and busy the last few days of work and nothing rings the frustration out of you like a good bike ride.
