Looking Much as it Would Heading for the Beaches of Normandy
In the movie, "The Longest Day," a scene I liked was the Luftwaffe, taking its two fighters for a token strafing pass over the Normandy Beaches on D Day, before heading back to base. It was that kind of a bike commute day today. I rode to the corner (note that ALL tire tracks are from bikes - 100% mode share), took the photo, rode back home to base, and then I drove the "PanzerSchlepper" to work.

Coffee Cooling Down
Lots More Snow Fell Through the Day
Lots More Snow Fell Through the Day
In a display of solidarity with my intrepid cycling comrades from the frozen north, I walked all the way from the truck into a coffee store. I also walked back to the truck. I made up for it by taking the elevator up to the third floor."PanzerSchlepper" Ready and Waiting
No Laundry to Recover Today
In truth, it wasn't really all that bad, but I've seen how Texans ski. When I got home, after the freeze set in, I took my youngest daughter out for some driving education. She did good, though we did not encounter any cyclists she could practice safely passing. There WERE a lot of cars that seemed to have trouble keeping up with the speed limit, however. We politely refrained from honking at them, despite having our progress impeded. Instead, we followed the Golden Rule.

UPDATE at 8:50PM: I'm just now told our snow today broke an all-time North Texas record. Not enough to go X Country skiing yet, but maybe tomorrow I can get my snowboard out and go find a hill big enough to make a few runs in the wetness. Hey, I never said this was the Colorado Rockies!

We got some snow alright. I haven't seen this much snow since leaving St. Louis :)
Riding tomorrow might be a different ball game.
We shall see!
Peace :)
Go careful, sweet Texans. I'm so pleased you finally got some.
Well, I'm glad we could finally share our wealth with you guys.
It was great fun this morning. For the first time ever, the MM read zero. Thanks for the gift, guys. I LOVE snow!
I like those pieces of reflective tape on the inside circumference of your back wheel. They don't need to be very big, but their movement certainly catches the eye of overtaking motorists.
