Frozen lock
So I went to hop on my bike and go to class the other day and my bike lock wouldn't unlock. I stuck the key in and it was frozen (temperatures that night dropped to somewhere between 0 and 10 ferenheit). Has this ever happened to anybody else? I wonder if it had gotten wet inside from the snow storm the day before and frozen up. Here's to someday not being a student and having a heated garage!

Well, I sure did it often enough with my last car. The old Dodge Spirit was exactly designed to drain meltwater from the roof into the handle and lock.

This may not be a solution as I live in Texas where a freeze means the whole city shuts down (schools let out, businesses close, etc.) but I've found the rotating ring on new Onguard and Kryptonite locks does a great job at keeping crap out of my lock.
