the road's turned white

I just got home. Used the snow as an excuse to leave early and work at home.
Glad I did, it was so cold hate to think what it will be like later.
With the combination of the cold wind and the wet, my muscles wouldn't warm/loosen up and I just couldn't get going. Took loads off my normal average and took me about half an hour longer to get home. I am crackered....probably worth baring in mind if your not leaving work until later and you have a long ride home.

Not sure I'll do that tomorrow, stay at home I think.

Polly - there are bike lane snow ploughs, they have them in Copenhagen.

Since Manchester can't even clear Bus lanes (apparently) I suspect our Bike lane ploughs are a long way off.

The main roads round here were pretty clear anyway, but the local council (borough rather than county) had sent out the roadsweepers to clear out the gutters. Lovely!

They have wee machines like that in Livingston as well Just a pity that the routes they do are the "walking kids to school" routes not the ones I use to cycle on!!
