Low teens and a howling headwind. (Wind chill near zero F without me riding into it.)

The MUP was mostly lousy. The northernmost quarter mile I had to walk because it was too thick and rough. Then another 2 miles were packed by peds but that means it was also rough. At least I could ride on it, slowly. Amazingly enough, the "demonstration plowing project", funded by a local bicycle advocacy group, has been started. The last 3 or so miles of the MUP were plowed. Not clear, but smooth, at least. That's all I ask. I saw lots of bicycle tracks on the plowed part.

I think I'll avoid the unplowed MUP as much as I can and take parallel roads for the ride home.
