twas -13 here yesterday morning, most of our snow went over the weekend, but on every bike lane there's a tonne of ice. The beater is lapping it up, and i'm hoping for more snow.
cycling in, I forgot my gloves, and even though it was a ten min cycle, by the end, my hands were bright red, felt like they were burning, completely useless at doing anything, and i had to warm them for 5 mins before I could lock my bike up.
my face felt like all the moisture had been leeched from it, and despite wearing 4 layers on the top and long johns, my arse and balls felt like someone had kicked them, and I was shivering.
IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!
today its a veritable heatwave: -4
