Ride home for Monday, 04 December

After continuing promises of snow that turned into (at best) light rain showers, and with the forecast for flurries, I was rather surprised at the heavy snow this afternoon. I think in total we got around 10cm. The roads were a mess, essentially gridlocked the whole way, with cars slipping and sliding all over the road. I ended up walking most of the way from downtown to home, and I reckon I got home sooner than the vast majority of the traffic I saw. I ended up walking a ways with a guy who had abandoned his truck at a car park after taking two hours to go a block and a half (!) and we marvelled at how incompetent some of the drivers were.

I put on my snow tyres when I got home, so I should at least have better grip than with the semi-slicks!

Just for Knox I got my wife to take a picture when I got home - note the Nova Scotia Aero Wheel in the front!
