as i pulled out of the drive this morning, i noticed the ground was pretty stiff. any water in the road was frozen and cracked and crinckled if i rode over it. pedaling on, i was thinking of several things but none of them included snow which would have turned me around and taken the truck to work. it was chilly but after the hill on rt 4, i was warm enough to take off my hood and unzip a couple of inches. i was glad that i had gone back into the house and grabbed my neck scarf as when i tipped down the wind blasted right in the face. why, no matter what direction i seem to be pedaling is the wind mostly direct on my nose?
after a session with the ces third graders i got involved helping with some tech matters and failed to notice what the weather was doing outside. i wondered why the kids and adults were coming and going to recess all bundled up like it was winter. the answer: it was snowing out, snowing fairly hard and blowing--in my face again. as i type now the temp hovers around 30 fahrenheit, with snow still coming and going. a couple of inches on the truck. i took a picture of my return tire track on the drive which had been totally clear when i left. one happy thought, at least they had not spread salt!
