snow day!
Yesterday we got hit with the second big snowstorm in a week here in the twin towns. Everything was fine in the morning until about 8:45 when the big flakes started to fall. My office closed for the day (hooray for managers living in the ‘burbs), but all the kids had school for the full day. We had some fun hanging out in the coffee shop, running a few errands, shoveling multiple times and watching it all pile up.
Around 6 pm, me and the mrs took a spin around the neighborhood to test out her super nice new commuting light. Fun times. I could have ridden for an hour - i love a bike ride on fresh snow. The only problem was visibility, as the snow was coming down to heavily that after 15 minutes neither of us could see where we were going (she with sunglasses and me with the goggles).
We got another 4″ or so overnight, making about another foot on top of the foot or so from last weekend. This morning, schools are closed for the day but my office is open. Someone didn’t coordinate that very well… I was about to bike in to the office to take advantage of the low traffic and minimal salting, but decided the sliding car factor was too great. Perhaps another snow ride tonight!
