29F/-1C or so. Riding home yesterday, it was 35F with light rain. Riding along dealing with semi-melted, refrozen snow/ice in lots of places, I couldn't help but think what last night's forecast low of 22F was going to do to everything when the rain I was riding through hard froze overnight on top of everything else.

Turned out that by 5:00AM this morning, though, it had only dipped just below freezing for a couple of hours. The rain had stopped just before sundown and had quite a few hours to if not dry, at least to not freeze so much.

This morning's ride still required careful attention, but really ended up being quite nice.
