I had a cupcake earlier
Mr. Bobcat saw me trying to dig out the mailbox and came to the rescue once again.

Yay, Zen, for Mr. Bobcat! Should we be tying him up and throwing him into your tent, or do you have that already covered?

I wanna ride my bicycle!!!! Over 4 feet of snow here between the two storms. I've done 20 hours of shoveling since Saturday, but no riding in 8 days. I'm starting to have bicycling dreams! Tomorrow I'm going to order studded tires for my Crosscheck, which will of course assure that there will be no more snow! Pictures from Wednesday afternoon here while it was still snowing. That's four board fence, almost 5 foot high! It's a good thing the snow stopped when it did. My horses would have been very confused when their fence disappeared!

I drove down to NC on Friday to have my race snowed out on Saturday. It melted by afternoon, so I went for a ride, which was nice. Sunday's race ended early with pothole-induced mechanical problems
. Oh well.

I also wanted to cry when I went to buy groceries today and it started snowing again. Even though it wasn't sticking.

And it already stopped. So maybe we can be happy until the next snow storm? Originally Posted by aicabsolut

Another band is supposed to come through later tonight, although it's expected to be minor (as in 1"). Originally Posted by pfunk12

It looks like we've got at least a week or so of decent weather for melting and cleaning up.

The new avatar is from a crit late last season.
The bike is ok. The hoods just slid down the bars from the impact, which caused my brakes to close. I wound up yanking them back in place enough that i could get rolling, but they were loose and low from the hit, so I stopped after I finished that lap to grab some tools. I had just put more carbon paste under the hood clamps last week when I changed the bar tape. At least the front wheel is ok and the bars didn't do something funny at the stem clamp. I am also glad the hoods moved and my injured shoulder didn't take the brunt of the impact. Plus, there was a nasty crash on the final lap of the race, so it was a good time to not be in it. Still, I missed out on scoring points for my collegiate team.
