During the snow

[jeow]

Hello.

How many of you phoning in sick tomorrow?

 

[Rob3rt]

Not me because I am not sick.

 

[addictfreak]

Already on the sick, but wish I wasn't, snow or no snow!

 

[Nearly there]

After all the snow hype it will probably nowt to shout about

Why is everyone afraid if cycling in the snow? I would love to commute in it!
Tomorrow, I am going to make a day of the weather and go out for a nice ride and possible end up helping people stuck on the roads (I like to help who I can).

A serious point springs to mind from long ago; I was on my paper round early in the morning on a snowy day (perhaps 30 years back now) - was caught up in a little accident and ended up forced off my bike on a busy main road.

A car driver had strayed out the compacted snow troughs to go round me (whilst going a little too fast for the conditions), they got into clumpy stuff in the centre of the road and lost control, spinning anti clockwise just next to me and then bumping into the verge cutting off my path - it was too close to stop in time but I managed to ditch the bike, jump onto the verge and let it thump into the car; more harm to the car than me or my BMX so all's well that ends well but the lesson learnt was to be careful of those ice skating elephants out there!

I'm off work on carers leave because woman is unwell, MS acting up, but I'll sneak out for a bit to play in the snow.

It's payday friday so no chance.

I'm hoping it does snow tomorrow, just so I can see how my 23c tyres handle in the slippy stuff

Why do fewer people get stuck at work due the snow than get stuck at home due to the snow?
Either two wheels of four wheels tomorrow sofar. Two if it doesn't freeze during the night.

But both will be pedal powered

I suspect because snow that comes during the night when the roads are quiet has more chance of building up a good depth than if it comes during the day.

snow is only good with skies on. Snow on 4 wheels don't bother me but it does on 2 wheels.

 

[Archie_tect]

What snow?
