We were always out shovelling

We did not, in the end, get an inordinate amount of snow today. However, the hour or so in the middle when it shifted to rain, then back to snow, means there’s an inch-thick substrate of slush underneath, and all the streets are glazed with a packed and frozen layer the plows just can’t scrape up.

In other words, this weather is why God made knobby tires for bikes.

However, I need to look in to some form of indoor storage for days when it’s actually coming down; spending five minutes blowing on the lock to thaw it enough to insert the key isn’t my idea of time well spent, right now. I think I also need to look in to winterizing my ride a little better.

please post more (or please e-mail me!) about winterizing your bike. what exactly does that entail?? you guys do have a nicer place than me, but i drag my bike into my kitchen/hallway and leave it there. i just like having it inside away from the elements and potential theives. it makes me feel better. i bet you too will like keeping it indoors somewhere. good luck with finals!

please post more photos of snow. i am going through withdrawl.
