It was 23 years ago when we last had a 9-day stretch here of no temperatures above freezing. That, combined with the "big" snowfall a couple of weeks ago, and we have the most disgusting, dirty, ugly schmutz, narrowing our paths and making life miserable. I was just telling myself I gotta get back on the bike, but I was inside when I said that. I look around and say no way. Too dangerous as well as unpleasant. I need to join a gym. The temperature has now briefly peeked up above freezing but only briefly. In the forecast, there are few or no more such peaks.
