A wee bit warmer than yesterday, but there's still snow on the ground in spots. I was lazy last night and didn't bother putting fenders on the bike. This morning I was spitting out salty sand and wiping my light off every couple of blocks.

Here's another thing that pisses me off - only 40% of my commute is actually snow-affected. 60% of it [ the fast, flat part] is dry. I could probably squeak by with slicks, but the bits with snow are on hills, and if a car/ped/bus/hobo rolls out into the many blind intersections, I would go down in a heap trying to avoid them.
