Fun! By 6 am we probably had 3 to 4 inches of snow on the ground. I dusted/scraped off the car for the wife and got on the bike for the ride in. I'd been looking forward to at least one ride like this this Winter. Traction was ok as it was powdery snow but, things got tricky where the drifts were and on the intermittant icey spots (bridges mostley). The wind was coming out of the North/West at up to 30mph and blew snow and what felt like sleet, creating near white out conditions. The toughest part was crossing the 14th Street bridge. Since you're so exposed on the bridge, the crosswind and stinging snow/sleet, combined with ice, made it a little treacherous. I managed to make it all the way to 15th and Independance before dumping it. This was the first wreck, albeit a small one, in my 6+ years of commuting. My glasses fogged up and I simpley plowed right into a curb that I couldn't see. Just when I was starting to feel a little cocky, I take a header into the snow. Nothing broken/bent/hurt beyond my pride, I guess. There were several cars there to see it too. Just found out that the wife is bailing out of word today so, looks like I get to ride home and not have to worry about picking up our son. Snow should end in DC by 2 pm today.
