I can confirm, cold ride in this morning (though nothing like the -3 reported from our comrades in Canada!).

Kinda wild ride this morning. First a school bus stopped to pick up some kids in front of me; of course I stopped, but the guy in the pickup just behind me just kept coming on, like he wanted to take advantage of me being stopped to pass me. I gave him the, "What are you, an idiot?" look.

Then a mile later it was two fire trucks coming up behind, sirens and lights blazing. I was stopped at a red light as they approached; I pulled to the right (on a 2-lane each way road). The guy in the delivery truck next to me must have felt his packages absolutely positively had to be there overnight, as he just pulled into the left lane and then into the left-turn lane. And drivers say cyclists don't obey the rules of the road....
