    Snowing again :(

    I didn't see it in the weather report, by the time I was on 404 heading south from Newmarket it was a bit too late to turn back... It wasn’t too bad after all. I think the ride was fun, but my fingers would tell you a different story if they could speak for themselves.
    I didn't see any other bikes on my way to work...

    put on a nice pair of pants and sweater, the jump on your gear and get out there ... on days like this a good pair of snowboarding gloves do the trick

    Re: Snowing again :(

    Was blue skies and sun when I geared up this morning. Shortly after taking off I thought it was pollen from the trees in my area or something until I saw it melting on my visor...couldn't feel my thumbs by the time I got to work. Saw at least 3 or 4 other bikes this morning though

    I rode in (Mount Albert to Vaughn). I went through two streamers of snow. One was moderately heavy but nothing was staying on the road. I did see a bike (didn't catch the type but a sport bike I think) pulling into the Esso at Greenlane and Leslie.

    You just posted my exact experience and thoughts...totally man....blue skies leaving home and saw snow falling while getting on the bike in driveway first thought it was pollen...by the time got into work fingers were falling off. All in all beats the TTC still.....looking forward to next weeks forecast which is in the double digits....
