This morning there was a fresh coat of snow on the driveway, so First I got to shovel the driveway for my wife, meaning I started out late. Temp was -4F (-20C), and the wind was about 10-15 mph (16-24 kph) from the NW. I head SW, so it wasn't too bad. Because of my late start, I got the joy of the morning backup at the middle school. I decided it was time to filter. I've never done it before, but in this case, no one was moving and I would freeze if I stopped, so I passed a bunch of cars in the left lane. I moved back over to the right lane. Very uneventful. From there it was just pedal and push through the compacted snow. The plows got most of the bulk off, so there was only a little bit left. All in all a good ride. Going home will be more into the wind, so that will probably be more effort. Oh well.
