I missed the ride in the snow yesterday. I didn't get a chance to put snow tires on and decided it wasn't worth the risk. Looks like that was a good decision givent he amount of snow we got. Didn't ride this morning since I've got late meetings out in VA tonight. I doubt I'll ride tomorrow, since there is still the snow tire issue and for some reason I can't find my battery charger for my light. I had it a few days ago and now I seem to have misplaced it.

Last night it rained...this morning it froze! Almost broke my ass several times, but made it unscathed. It's warm again today, but we're expecting a storm this weekend. I'm looking forward to it!

Rode a little more than 14 miles today. 2.3 dry this morning, 12 in the snow tonight. Part of tonight's commute was from the bus stop to get 2 dental procedures done by 2 different dentists. A root canal, then a ceramic post and cap for my broken tooof. Then rode home with a new smile. Awsum day.

This morning it was in the 20s - much warmer than the last couple mornings. The roads have been cleared and salted pretty well too, so for the most part they are just wet.

Got back on the bike this morning after being sick since Tuesday. Good morning for a ride. Temps in the high 30s/low 40s and only a light headwind. I took it pretty easy since I'm still not 100%. Everything went fine except the uncontrollable rounds of hacking cough for every deep cold breath I took in during the first half of the ride.
