Two new milestones in a week -- snow and single digit temperatures (NOAA said I left home this morning at -0F -- which we all know is colder than +0F

So far I can put up with the cold, but I'm still trying to come to terms with the snow. I'm getting a bit more comfortable riding in the stuff, but I'll still probably work at home during the next storm -- one step at a time.

Tires -- the bike shop sold me Kenda Klondikes because they couldn't source Nokian or Schwalbe. Big, heavy beasts. I swapped out to Schwalbe Marathon Winters I ordered online. Much, much less rolling resistance and on the old snow that's one street, just as effective.

And, Melalvai...yes, mounting the Schwalbe was *tough*...but worth it.
