Interesting commute this morning. I didn't ride Thursday due to cold rain all day with threat of snow/sleet, so I wanted to ride today to keep my driving to one day/week. The rain stopped last night but roads were still damp this morning with temperatures hovering just above the freezing mark (34F/1C). When I checked the weather at 5:30 am, the forecasters were warning about possible black ice on the roads, so I wasn't sure if I should risk it. Instead, I left a half-hour later than usual after it became apparent that the temperatures would stay above freezing. Fortunately I didn't encounter any ice and the traffic was lighter than usual due to the weather. Tried out some new bib knickers I got for Christmas, and they weren't really warm enough for low 30s, and I had red stripes around the bottom of my legs by the time I got to work. Forecasters are calling for another winter storm tomorrow with below freezing temperatures for several days, so it might not be safe to ride for a few days since I don't have the gear for riding on snow/ice.
