-10F very little wind. Was comfortable.

But... Did not want to get up- am kind of sick. Thought about calling in sick, but am not sick enought to justify it. Thought about driving but figured if I can go in, I can bike.

Had to walk through part of the park I go through due to drifted snow.

Had some wonderful driver buzz me unnecessarily (not that there is ever a necessary time). I saw him coming in my mirror and waved him off angrily as he passed. This earned me a finger. I waved toward the lane again and he pointed to the right side. Granted I was riding the edge of the snow/ice in the lane, but there was no one oncoming on a two way street. I finally returned said finger. I don't usually return the gesture, but did not care this morning. As I gestured toward him, I wondered if the point got across through a pair of lobster gloves. This made me laugh a little, but was not a good way to start the morning.

Sorry to hear about your streak ending Jeff-o. WD40 and grease have been a good friend of mine this winter to prevent problems.
